Conspiracy theory is always out there. From the 9/11 tragedy to the shooting of JFK there is an underlying question about the details of historical events. It includes business tactics and the accusations of manipulating a market. A prime example of that is in the global oil industry and trade.

Well over the last 6 months or so, in spite of taking pre cautions, my computer has been ravaged 3 or 4 times with a serious malware invasion. Yeah I know many of you are saying “boo hoo, deal with it”. And I understand that sentiment to a large extent. In fact I reluctantly agree. And I am dealing with it.

So what is my beef here? Let the conspiracy begin. But wait this is not about my personal gripe, this is about the burgeoning market of Internet security and security software. Yes indeed and this can be a good thing for you.

The fact is that Internet security software is an enormous business and especially among the largest percentage of the Internet user market. That would be Microsoft and their Windows Operating System. And regardless of how many updates and new releases, Windows OS continues to have security breeches and issues. Not always the major issue I have been experiencing but nevertheless the issues are there.

As a result many of us have purchased and installed free and/or purchased security protection. Many of us have also learned more about how to find malware “hidden” among your programs and you have learned how to get remove it.

People! Listen up! The stock is up in the security software business. This opens the door for many people. Especially if you are major league programmer and understand the Internet/computer relationship. Whether you help install or design these programs the demand is clearly increasing. For many reasons.

1. More people are finding that they need some kind of protection be it a firewall, anti virus, anti spyware, anti malware (in general), linc scanning, email scanning, identity theft, and etc.
2. The contemptible fools that find some perverted pleasure in ruining your computer continue to grow in number.
3. The race to stay ahead of one another is intense. The battle of good and evil rages on
4. The competition among security software is also quite a challenge
5. There is opportunity for some income on many levels

I personally think there is another level to consider. Why are these invaders so successful? Are these so called “hackers” just this genius? I don’t think it is that simplistic.

One things that disturbs me is that the malware I have experienced infiltrated the security components that were provided by Dell and Windows. That irks me to no end! Uh oh here it comes.

I am not a conspiracy nut but I often wonder if Windows and others do not have a symbiotic relationship with security companies. The money is prodigious and super-colossal and therefore hard to turn a blind eye too. However the notion that the system providers like Windows help malware to make its way to the inner workings of your computer is very disturbing. And yet it would not surprise me.

We already no that many so called “free” items that are downloaded come with little surprises like spyware and the other types of suspicious malware. Which first of all I do not know why most of this stuff is legal? Not only does it disrupt your system but why should anyone be allowed to monitor what I search from my computer?

The point is somewhere in here I see a challenge to the software program wizards. Yes imagine the money that could be made if you developed and/or designed a monster killer? Imagine if you took the challenge of creating the ultimate security software program? Can it even be done?

And how about this mind blower? What if you could develop a security software that could definitively find the source of the malware and immediately retrace the direction it came from. And the icing on the cake would be if your program could in turn destroy the malware and create a disruption for the conniver who sent it out.

Maybe you are the next programming stud that can offer real protection to the millions of innocent Internet users. I sure hope so.

But whether you are the hardcore designer or fit in somewhere along the “food chain”, don’t kid yourself, the demand is there and the stock is up!
