Bugs aren't viruses. Many people think they are, but they are very different. Say if a company makes something by accident that causes the computer to crash, it will be immediately recalled and patches easily available to all. These won't spread and go around the internet and will be containable. Viruses are made on purpose and made to be easily spread and infect as many other files as possible...

Very few are made as jokes. The main reasons are usually people want to be "ph34r3d" and get "h4x0r" publicity, to gain higher ranks in hacking groups and to maybe be given access to zombie networks if they form alliances with other hackers.

Some do it because they own a computer shop and need more profit, and if people come in with problems, you can get money when it spreads to your area.

Some just do it because they can do it, and like to see the results.

Some do it to target other software and disable it, because they don't like the company.

Some make viruses to disable viruses of rival "h4x0r l0rd5" and let theirs take over.

There are infinite reasons why people do it, but none of them are by any means worthy...
