    Thank you amitraina, quite a bit of information other than about the first virus, History lessons thrown into the mix,

    Thank you amitraina for the link. Informative one .
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.

    In 1986, the first PC virus was created. It was the Brain virus from Pakistan. Brain was a boot sector virus and only infected 360k floppy disks. Interestingly, even though it was the first virus, it had full-stealth capability.
    There's no wonder why we're still getting infected. Common sense doesn't work as our Brain is infected...ouch!!!
