I believe that David Gerrold's _When HARLIE Was One_ was written several years
before Ryan's _The Adolescence of P-1_ (maybe 1969?), and it had several
references to viruses.  In particular, HARLIE ran The Beast, which was the
internal main computer for the company, and had hooks into banks and the
national databanks.
