When and where did the first computer virus appear and what was its name ?

"Elk Cloner is the first known computer virus that has spread 'in the wild', i.e., outside the computer system or lab it was written in. It was written around 1982 by a 15-year-old high school student named Richard Skrenta for Apple II systems."
