The first PC virus was created. Known as the Brain virus, it was written in Pakistan. The Brain virus was a boot-sector virus, which means it only infected the boot records of 360K floppy disks, but not hard drives. It would occupy unused space on the disk so that it could not be used. It was also the first "stealth" virus, meaning it tried to hide itself from detection. If a computer user tried to view the infected space on the disk, Brain would display the original, uninfected boot sector.

It depends on the definition of virus. Malicious programs, if viruses are called this, have been around forever.
I remember a boot sector virus called (c) Brain that was created by a pair of Pakistani brothers. They then offer their anti-virus service to those affected by the virus.
