A virus makers say "I made a virus because it does not know anything else that I need to make with my programming skills."
4. The number of security holes in the OS and programs - other programs
The number of vulnerabilities found in operating systems and software - software to make certain one is tempted to make a virus by using the slit as well as the media spread the infection.
