Background: In 2007, the World Wide Web was flourishing, more and more people were joining everyday, even the elderly and by age 5, most kids knew about it. However, the danger of such an invention was already clear, the dreaded computer viruses. As the viruses slowly took over, anti-virus companies, such as Norton, had develop weapons against the viruses. However, slowly, but surely, viruses got harder to detect, and more fatal. Eventually, anti-virus companies fallen, people stopped using their computers, and the world government had shut down the Internet. That was a dark time, where chaos had spread, where technology had failed them. However, people slowly started using the internet, trying to rebuild the defunct network. Pretty soon, the internet had began running, and there were no viruses anymore. And now, it is the year 2014. Very little has changed. Now, the internet is booming better than in 2007. But, will a new virus change it? That, my dear players, is for you to decide.


Sides:

First and foremost, are the viruses. Their main goal is to infect as many computers as possible. The viruses are created, by one person. Now, this person can create multiple viruses. However, the more viruses there are, the less chance of each of them infecting many computers. But, this means that anti-virus companies have a harder time bocking every single virus.

The second side, is the anti-virus companies. They have the tools to detect and destroy viruses. Simple eh? Well, they have a harder time, as most of these companies have fewer resources available than in 2007. Also, technical skills are more limited.

The third side, is the big faceless internet providers. (Internet providers now provide their browser) Each comes with their browser (Ex: Firefox) and an email service. (Ex: Yahoo) Each company gathers lots of money from subscribers, and also can upgrade their security. So why the need for anti-virus companies? Well, those companies are more specialized, and it is safer to get the backing of one, or several, anti-virus programs.

Now let's get into the grit of each.


Viruses

First, the people who created them are only semi-decent in terms of programming. This means that some viruses will be destroyed. Viruses are not backed by money, but by programmer's skill. Here is the template.

This is the basic stuff, I will use a map to show which virus took over where.

Any comment? Will add more stuff in the future.
 
not sure how a map would work.. would not the internet mean any attack is pretty much randomly world wide in distribution.. and multiple virus will be present in one area... i think better representation would be through pie charts etc to weigh different virus up


also, i dont see any mention of growth, economics etc...how will one develope?
 
also..no idea why there is need for an alt hist/background
 
Virus Name: Enigma
alias James/charles li
Worked for all major internet companies and gamer programers
makes the Login crash so the computer would never work again, captures internet signals to send more virusis
Detection rate: High(computer will never work again and it will still use internet) Inflects even if email is not opened

Computers Infected: ceators, but only minimally
Computers Cured:
Virus History: sending now!

just some old project gon bad backpacked with campaining skills
 
Can I play an underground organization of programmers who spread hardware viruses? They'll be using a computer repair company as a front so that they may spread their hardware viruses. Then make millions later by fixing it all up. :evil:
