History of First Computer virus

 

 

Hello everyone,

I'm Harsh khanagwal,

Today we are gonna to talk about "First Computer virus"

    

Did you know there was no Computer virus on the earth before 1971,

    

    The first Computer virus, called "creeper system"{1971}. This virus was created by BBN Technology in the US. This Virus was an experimental self-replicating virus. It was filling up the hard drive Until a Computer could not operate any further. and they leave an message on screen "I'M THE CREEPER. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!"

    After a long time, A virus for MS-DOS released in January 1986, called "Brain" and is Considered to be the first computer virus for MS-DOS. It infects the Boot sector of storage media formatted with the DOS file Allocation Table (FAT) file system.

this virus is created by two brothers Amjad farroq alvi or Basit farooq alvi who lives in Lahore, Pakistan.

    As I told you, creeper system is our first computer virus but it's just an experimental prototype that why it's not gonna to be called first computer virus of our history 

So, our first computer virus is Brain
