Take a look at the sasser and mydoom(?) virus writters. Within their virus war they had a fairly valid goal. To shut-down each others virus. The basic goal is commendable, the way they went about it.... was extreme to say the least. In the end the virus contained removal instructions. A handy thing to know if infected.

We know what happened to the Sasser virus writer Sven Jaschan. There is no guarantee that there will be no new versions of either virs, the code is readily available on the internet.

You can't lump virus writers into one catagory and say "they write viruses, they're bad". Once in a while they're just misguided.
