They run around the computer deleting files they do not like. They have names like McAfee and Windows defender. The number of complaints about MS viruses is enormous, makes one wonder.
Only once have rogue viruses bothered me, but these official viruses from Microsoft are an enormous mistake for the company.
Linux has worse viruses. I was looking at 25,000 line shell command to install Ncurses, a simple character based GUI system. No way on need 25,000 lines of shell commands for anything. Linux is still a hieroglyphics nightmare. They create library directories galore, descend many steps into sub-cirstories for no apparent reason. And still have not yet discovered the vowel.
Software too cumbersome
The old days meant getting a copy of Win32.dll, and you could put up windows. The time to complete a hellom worlds by grabbing a copy of the dll was short, shorter than the time today when entire cloud systems get downloaded simply to write the hello world.
The browser with javascript eliminate bunch of that, and we can build applications to run in the browser. It is always the same, layers get big and complex; n then someone does it simple, like in the old days and a company is 'reborn', recycled.
SQLite is another, simpler is better, product. My Virtual c IDE is like that, built for simplicity, and simple layering.
QT, the multi-platform GUI tool has gotten way complex, as is SDLite, the direct layer graphics package. QT should be like win32.dll, have a QT.dll for graphis, one linkable file. If you want more complexity, start simple, and layer; but do not screw the simple, keep the basic, single file version for the simple stuff.
