Skrenta graduated from Northwestern University. Between 1989 and 1991 he worked at Commodore Business Machines with Amiga Unix. Between 1991 and 1995 he worked at Unix System Labs and from 1996 to 1998 with the IP-level encryption on Sun Microsystems
Elk Cloner virus is expressed as one of the micro-computer viruses that spread out from the scope of the place of manufacture. Created in 1982 by a high school student who was 15 years old. He named Rich Skrenta. Viruses that he made, when it is directed to the Apple II computer system.
At that Skrenta was no longer trusted by his garden friends. This was caused by his conduct that illegally share games and software, he would often use floppy disks to turn off the computer or to display the mocking words on the screen. Finally Skrenta thought of a method to do it without a floppy disk so that he is not suspected.
During the winter break at Mt. Lebanon High School, Pennsylvania, United States, Skrenta discover how to automatically display a message on his computer. And finally he found what today is called the boot sector virus, and began to spread among the friends of the school, as well as in a computer club.
Virus obtained from sources which it quickly spread and infect floppy disk successful people he knew, including his math teacher. The virus infected a lot of hassle victims. Can imagine how difficult it because it was not one antivirus. Elk Cloner virus can only be removed manually by a complicated step.
Elk Cloner spread by infecting the Apple II operating system with a boot sector virus techniques. This means that if we boot the computer using the floppy disk is already infected, the virus will be automatically copied to memory. And if there is a clean floppy disk inserted into the computer, the virus will copy itself to floppy it. Infected computer will display a poem on the screen when booting into 50.
So here is the man who first makes the problem of the virus that has infected many computers in the world, but we also must not blame her for granted, because it is the advancement of technology day by day more and more sophisticated.
Rich Skrenta now is one of the founders of the Open Directory Project

The first inventor of computer virus
Richard "Rich" Skrenta (born 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). is a computer programmer and entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. In 1982, as a high school student in High School Mt. Lebanon, Skrenta make Elk Cloner virus that attacks Apple II machines. It was widely believed to be the first virus ever created.
