Around 1942 computer security wasn't really an issue. Computers were pretty much just only used in corporate environments and experimentally. Viruses weren't really a problem since networking barely existed at all, so there was no easy way for a virus to spread. Back then, all you really needed to "secure" a computer was a lock and key.
The answer depends on how you define a computer. Konrad Zuse built the first electronic computer at Berlin, Germany The first electronic computer in the US was built at Ames, Iowa by John Atanasoff.

the first electronic computers were built before the invention of the transistor or integrated circuit chip. They used vacuum tubes for the processing and temporary memory. In Britain those tubes were called valves.
International Computers Limited was created in 1968.

No computers.
Yes. The first computer was built in the 1930s. The first personal computers hit the market in 1981.

The first known computer was the Antikythera Mechanism, whose inventor unknown was built around 150 to 100 BC.Atanasoff-Berry Computer
Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs built, programmed, and sold the first Apple computers.
Konrad Zuse (pronounced `Conrud Tsoosay')built the first working programmable computer in 1936
The first computers could not be purchased, therefor your question has no answer as written.Some early computers were:ABC, built on a university grantHarvard Mark I, built by IBM on a Navy cost plus contractENIAC, built on an Army cost plus contractetc.
April 1st, 1976 Apple released the Apple I (and started Apple computers). They were hand built by Steve Wozniak and first shown in California to Homebrew computer club, so I presume they were built there.
the first computers were invented in mid 1930s but nothing was actually built until beginning of ww2.
The first hp computer built in 1937.
Humans have been communicating with each other in many different ways for several hundred thousand years.The first digital computer was invented in the 1830s by Charles Babbage but never built. The first electronic digital computers were invented in the 1930s and built in the 1940s. Electronic digital computers did not become a marketed product until the 1950s.
In America. the first computer was invented in the US in 1969 at the Rowayton Library in Norwalk, CT ++ For general-purpose computers, but the first electronic, programmable computer, using the same principles as any now albeit by thermionic valves and relays rather than solid-state components, was the 'Colossus' machine built for cracking the German 'Enigma' codes in WW2.
