I am doing a report for school. I just finished a report on ethical hacking, which I got an A in woot. Thanks to some of the advice here from AO. Now I have to go into why people write viruses. Now doing this as awhole is very easy, all one would have to do is google.

My question is, what are some the of the tools virus writers use? I need to cite references, program names, websites, and include screenshots in my report. The problem is, when I google references, I get previous reports and stuff, and alot of the stuff I find useful is outdated. More references are needed. Thanks in advance.
