The first computer virus was created and reported on the internet precursor ARPANET in the early 1970s. In 1988, the first computer worm was released and the mass mainstream gained media attention. Viruses grew into a pandemic a quarter of a century ago. Viruses proliferated rapidly, complicating malware.
