Profit or just to disrupt your life.

You guys really need to know how to use RAT's.
And how the hell would someone make profit from killing a stranger's computer? Anyways, some people deserve a high five in the face with a chair made of steel.
Im not talking about keyloggers, phishers and any means of stealing information. Its pretty obvious how one makes profit from those. Im talking about the kind of viruses that make a pc useless. (disable startup, spike CPU to 100%, prevent any program from executing etc.)
When using RAT's and other similar tools the best choice you can make is to kill the victim computer, slowing them down.
For their own self of pleasure. All they want you is to have pain. And I'm sure they get some profit out of it. For example, java drive will install the virus without you knowing. Usually these are RAT's (remote access tools). So they are probably going to steal your information n that kind of crap.
I wouldn't see any point of making a bot and make it spam links which don't get you any profit.
