In January 1986 the first ever IBM PC virus started to spread
When two brothers sat down to code a computer virus they can have had little idea of what they were setting in motion. The virus, known as Brain, was released in January 1986 and 27 years later we are still feeling its effects.Brain was the work of Basit Farooq Alvi and his brother Amjad Farooq Alvi. The Pakistani programmers, fed up with people stealing their medical software, wrote a virus to stop anyone infringing on their copyright.

Looking at all the events that have taken place since 1986 you have to wonder was Brain a long term AlQuieda plot. :lol:
