If you are attempting to determine how investigators determine who created the computer virus and where it was initially released, investigators can often accomplish this through reverse engineering. Many viruses are coded to contact code repositories for updates, sometimes tracking these down can be revealing. Other times, the code within the virus actually advertises who created the virus by codename, and by research through chat channels and internet forums, investigators can uncover evidence to determine the identity of the individual. Locating where the virus was initially released is normally an exercise in tracking where the virus was first detected.

How do investigators track down the source of a virus?

If you are attempting to find how the virus came to infect your system, then you need to determine the IP address that the virus came from. How you determine the IP address will depend on the method of transmission that the virus uses. Once the IP address has been determined, you can use a reverse DNS lookup to determine what domain the IP address is associated with and a WHOIS to determine who operates that domain.

Are they a virus program that can track from where the virus origanated?

That's pretty much close to impossible. You'll need to get a virus to infect you by downloading it, so there are no such way for a program to track down which website, the virus's author, and how it was made unless the virus download site is linked to the hacker's computer, but any stupid hacker can be smart enough to do that.
