About 4 days ago, while on the Forum, this "active X" virus got through my firewall and slowed my computer down considerably
. After I ran my Norton protection program, it found the virus and removed it. However, for the next few days I noticed quite a lag on my computer, but as of today everything is back to normal
. I can't understand what motivates these hackers to create these worms, virus's and such
. Does someone pay them to infect certain sites or is it pure vandalism
