Detailed explanation-1: -Von Neumann’s design for a self-reproducing computer program is considered the world’s first computer virus, and he is considered to be the theoretical “father” of computer virology.
Detailed explanation-2: -Frederick B. Cohen (born 1957) is an American computer scientist and best known as the inventor of computer virus defense techniques. He gave the definition of “computer virus".
Detailed explanation-3: -Mocmex is a trojan, which was found in a digital photo frame in February 2008. It was the first serious computer virus on a digital photo frame.
Detailed explanation-4: -Beijerinck, in 1898, was the first to call ‘virus’, the incitant of the tobacco mosaic. He showed that the incitant was able to migrate in an agar gel, therefore being an infectious soluble agent, or a ‘contagium vivum fluidum’ and definitively not a ‘contagium fixum’ as would be a bacteria.
