A personal computer with reasonable bandwidth has valuable resources that are easier for an attacker to exploit than secret information. Cleaning out a bank account is more complex and risky than installing a spam relay and selling it to the highest bidder, for instance. Defending a computer is a challenging problem that has yet to be effectively addressed by any technology. Still, enumerating viruses is a particularly bad (though lucrative) approach.
