The oldest of all malware is the virus and it’s been around since the 70's. Designed to attach its code to other programs. Once those infected programs are executed, the virus will duplicate itself and spread like mad. Today, “Viruses” by their strict definition are rare in the wild and are usually in the form of file infectors.
