Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (iii) "Creeper"

The Creeper, which duplicates (or clones) itself and spreads from one machine to another, is referred to as the first computer virus. Early in 1971, Bob Thomas at BBN developed it as a test computer software.

Explanation:

• The computer virus known as Creeper was a worm, which duplicates itself and travels to new systems. Targets in this instance included machines from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) that were connected to ARPANET.
• But Creeper did nothing more than show its cryptic message; it wasn't malware in the sense that we now understand malware to refer to computer viruses. It didn't take Social Security numbers, encrypt files, demand a ransom, wipe out data, or disable centrifuges. Only its taunting challenge was seen.
• To demonstrate that it was possible, its author had just intended to construct an experimental, self-replicating program. He named it Creeper, a strange, ghastly, green bank robber from the well-known cartoon series "Scooby-Doo," mostly out of scientific curiosity.
• The Creeper computer virus was the first, but it was by no means the last.
