What was the very first computer virus written in 1981 called?

The first computer virus ever invented was the Creeper virus. The Creeper virus was invented in 1971 by Bob Thomas. The Creeper virus was highly experimental and it was accidentally released. It infected dozens of machines (because back then there wasn't that many computers). A group of people realized the potential danger the Creeper virus showed, so they created a counter-program called Reaper in order to find and remove the Creeper virus from infected machines. The Reaper program spread like a computer virus, but it deleted itself once it found no more infected machines.
