In 1983, the term "computer virus" was coined by Fred Cohen in one of the first ever published academic papers on computer viruses. The first known that appeared "in the wild" was " Elk Cloner", in 1981, which infected Apple II computers. The Creeper virus was followed by several other viruses. Some people consider "The Reaper" the first antivirus software ever written – it may be the case, but it is important to note that the Reaper was actually a virus itself specifically designed to remove the Creeper virus.

This computer virus infected Digital Equipment Corporation's ( DEC) PDP-10 mainframe computers running the TENEX operating system.
