The very first virus for the PC was developed as a harmless programme which would simply detect whether or not there was enough space on the floppy disk to carry it. Dubbed 'Brain' because it relabelled disks and changed the volume label of the disk to read "©Brain" (after the company where it was created), it was merely written to explore security holes in the operating system of the software being used by the developers.
The virus was written by the Farooq Alvi brothers, in Pakistan. Some sources will incorrectly state that the virus was made to deter piracy of the developers' software, but that was never the intention.
