Brain - The First PC Virus
The first PC virus, known as the "Brain" virus, was invented in 1986 by two brothers from Lahore, Pakistan, named Amjad and Basit Farooq Alvi, CTO and CEO of Brain. The virus was intended to infect floppy disks and spread to other computers in order to prevent duplication of the brothers' medical software. The virus was given the moniker "Brain" in honour of the brothers' computer consulting firm, Brain Computer Services.
