Every time my computer crashes on me because of some pest called virus, I wonder when viruses actually came to being. And so here’s a brief history of when computer virus was first discovered…

The international version will start shipping on October 19, so better get that bucks ready. It will work in over 100 countries and territories although Amazon did not specify if there are additional charges for using it in a place other than the…
