Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971. It was designed not to damage but to demonstrate a mobile application. It is generally accepted to be the first computer worm, although the notion of a "computer virus" did not exist in the 1970s. Creeper infected DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system.
