I have read a lot of pages about these kids like 14-18 making virus's and distrubuting them to there school's server. My son's school uses PowerSchool and PowerGrade to manage the attendence and grades but they run on the same server as the students accounts do, so are they that stupid that they may be puting there grades, social security numbers, telephone numbers, and all the other stuff the school stores on the server? It just doesnt make any sense. I guess thats why i have to download my antivirus updates each night and morning...

You know, I don't mean to sound offensive - but what kind of question is that. Of course it's wrong to send a virus - anywhere, it's mean, destructive and vindictive. People are being fined big money and even young people are being arrested for such behavior. The fact that you even question this is a little unsettling. (unless you're unsure of what your asking)
You might let the school know what you've read about so they can beef up their security. Many times, the school server can stop a lot of information that is illegally being sent to the school and can detect 'virus' activity.... so it's stopped at the mainframe (before it hits the student's computers). If you're concerned, you should check with the school IT person.

They are stored on the server so that any faculty member with access to the file can read it. Viruses are annoying and it is really NOT right that people make them...it's just making lots of money for the security companies (which I'm sure they have a hand in it too, or else they would not make any money).
