There is a reference to a program called VIRUS in David Gerrold's book
"When Harlie was One". This is in the original edition which came out
around '73 or '74. And I have a vague recollection of seeing references
such things before then!

I'd call this a valid refernce as it was being mentioned as a bit
of "computer folklore" in the story.
