.The first PC virus was a boot sector virus called (c)Brain, created in 1986 by two brothers, Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, operating out of Lahore, Pakistan. The brothers reportedly created the virus to deter pirated copies of software they had written. However, analysts have claimed that the Ashar virus, a variant of Brain, possibly predated it based on code within the virus.
Some people think otherwise(links listed below)
Had to copy/paste this one because I didn't know it either.

Yea I think he is right, viruses are put out there by software companies so you have to buy there products. I recently had to reinstall Winblows XP on a friends computer and there are 58 patches you have to download Not to mention all the updates for Norton.
