What was the first virus ever discovered?

The first actual identification of viruses as a distinct pathogenic agent was by Louis Pasteur, but he did not isolate or classify them. In 1892 Dimitri Ivanovsky was able to separate the toxic agent of the tobacco mosaic virus. In 1898 Martinus Beijerinck determined the virus to be a reproductive particle much smaller than a bacteria. In 1935, Wendell M. Stanley achieved the crystallization of the tobacco mosaic virus, showing that it remained potent despite crystallization, and allowing imaging of a virus for the first time (in 1939). He shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1946.


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.
