"The first PC virus in the wild was a boot sector virus dubbed (c)Brain[7], created in 1986 by the Farooq Alvi Brothers, operating out of Lahore, Pakistan, reportedly to deter piracy of the software they had written[citation needed]. However, analysts have claimed that the Ashar virus, a variant of Brain, possibly predated it based on code within the virus" - Wikipedia

∙ 12y agoJust ask yourself, "WHO GAINS" the most from viruses being introduced into the internet environment ? Who is prepared to put in the hours ? I believe it's the software companies who make a fortune from selling you the anti-virus software starting with Microsoft which was owned and run by one of the biggest criminals on Earth, Bill Gates. By the way, watch the media; Gates and many other globalists will be part of a massive cleanup of corrupt leaders and corporate fraudsters. You'll see them being arrested and jailed very soon. Pentagon "white hats" are on the move to clean up America and the world of these criminals. 70-80% of the US military are behind this push.
