Question
Is it a crime to make a computer virus?
Answer
No. It is not against the law or a crime to make a computer virus, Trojan, or malware. However, if that virus or other malware was to spread to other computers or be sent to other computers (even if you did not mean for it to happen) then it would be considered a crime and you could be held liable for any damages it causes to the computers that become infected with it.
