I have read several articles regarding the suspicion's that surround 'some' Anti Virus companies relating to the possibility that they,themselves(or hired miscreants)may be writing viri just so the AV company can gain a positive reputation(and mo' money), when they report them and offer a 'fix'.
Would be kind'a like an automobile tire Mfg. hiring someone to throw tacks on the highway so as to increase their income!
Does this actually happen?

Who knows?
But,as the article above says,and also the thing with jpg's having a 'virus' threat has come back to haunt us once again!
