apparently wrong..first Theoretical Virus was created by John von Neumann and credit of original creation of a virus on computer goes to Veith Risak.what Farooq Alvi Brothers created is world's first boot sector virus..change the heading of the thread..

Right

The first academic work on the theory of computer viruses (although the term "computer virus" was not used at that time) was done in 1949 by John von Neumann who gave lectures at the University of Illinois about the "Theory and Organization of Complicated Automata". The work of von Neumann was later published as the "Theory of self-reproducing automata". In his essay von Neumann described how a computer program could be designed to reproduce itself.[25] Von Neumann's design for a self-reproducing computer program is considered the world's first computer virus, and he is considered to be the theoretical father of computer virology.[26]

In 1972 Veith Risak, directly building on von Neumann's work on self-replication, published his article "Selbstreproduzierende Automaten mit minimaler Informationsübertragung" (Self-reproducing automata with minimal information exchange).[27] The article describes a fully functional virus written in assembler language for a SIEMENS 4004/35 computer system.
