CREEPER - the first computer virus
The Creeper virus, an experimental self-replicating program, is written by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies.
It was designed not to damage but to demonstrate a mobile application
Creeper infected DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system.
Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" was displayed.
The Reaper program was later created to delete Creeper.
It is generally accepted to be the first computer virus.
