    VB is normally restricted to worms and macro viruses unless you really know what you're doing.

    C and C++, again are unlikely to be used...real virus programmers use ASM

    For information, just look through McAfee's archives

    And nerds use instructions in hex to code a virus.

    ** Trivia **
    The first PC to PC virus is from Pakistan.

    The story goes that Basit and Amjaad Farooq Alvi, owners of a store called Brain Computer Services, wrote the boot sector virus in 1987 to stealthily leave their contact information on infected computers. Basit and Amjaad claimed they wrote the code to ascertain the extent of software piracy in Pakistan (they were, after all, software vendors). But Brain soon leaked through the Pakistani borders and quite harmlessly infected computers worldwide.

    I think that the first internet worm was created around 1988, but I don't know about what language it was written in......maybe c or something....

    Ah yes, the famous stack-smashing virus (just the Worm now )

    The first worm was in fact written by Son of a NSA employee.
