In
Pakistan, Basit Farooq Alvi and Amjad Farooq Alvi ran a computer store called
Brain Computer Services.
They
soon discovered that a floppy disk contained computer instructions that were
executed when the computer was first turned on. Basit and Amjad used this
knowledge for their own purposes and created computer instructions that would
change the label of floppy disks in the computer to (C) Brain. The instructions
would make a copy of themselves onto other floppy disks that were inserted into
the floppy-disk drive.
