No one can say who exactly created the first computer virus as there was theories of self-replicating computer programs from all the way back to World War II, but most say it was Robert Tappan Morris. He created the Morris worm and launched it from an MIT lab on November 2, 1988 to disguise the fact that it was actually made in Cornell. The floppy disk containing the source code of the Morris worm is held in the Boston Museum of Science.
The Morris worm was not intended to be virulent, but a critical mistake in the source code changed it from a harmless file to a dangerous worm. The mistake was in the way it spread. The program would ask a computer if it had a copy of the worm on it and if it didn't, it would replicate place itself onto the target computer.
