Did you know the first computer virus was called Creeper, and it was actually designed to be harmless? It was created in 1971, and it would display the message "I'M THE CREEPER: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" and move between computers on ARPANET. It was just a test to show that a computer program could spread to other devices. The response to Creeper was called Reaper, which was actually the first antivirus program made to delete Creeper from infected systems.
