Evolution of the computer virus

Hello,

I came across a brief history of computer viruses with a flow diagram from the first virus all the way up to date. First worm etc.
It was only a month or two ago i saw it.

Has anyone else come across it?
I either found out about it on here or some security company sent me it in their news letter.

Googling has proved fruitless but may be my google foo is off tonight.

any one remember it or have one?

thanks for your time

Martin

 

Hello Martin,

I don't recall seeing one with a flow diagram. If you can't locate it, this is a rather good "time line:"

thanks for the link its not that one.

It had little cartoon illustrations down the left of the page of each virus like the whale virusm had a picture of a whale etc

 

I have seen at least two infographics about this during the past 2-3 months but I'm not sure where I saw them exactly hmmm...

 

I remember this one: http://www.welivesecurity.com/2014/10/17/infographic-brief-history-of-malware/

But I know there is another one that I can't seem to find at the moment hmmm.....

 

You beauty!
that is the one thanks

 

Haha you're welcome

Then I can stop looking for that other one that I saw a while ago as I still haven't found it.

 

Hehehe its annoying isnt it when you cant get your google foo working?

 

Yeah everytime, luckily it doesn't happen that often
