Detailed explanation-1: -As noted by Discovery, the Creeper program, often regarded as the first virus, was created in 1971 by Bob Thomas of BBN. Creeper was actually designed as a security test to see if a self-replicating program was possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Creeper virus works by infecting one computer, causing it to print a file. It will then stop working while looking for another TENEX system. It establishes a connection with that computer and so on. After it’s done with a system, its final payload or effect is to display its message.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first computer virus for MS-DOS was “Brain” and was released in 1986. It would overwrite the boot sector on the floppy disk and prevent the computer from booting. It was written by two brothers from Pakistan and was originally designed as a copy protection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Creeper was an experimental computer program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971.
