Could abiogenesis occur within software environments?

Within software environments there is a variety of malware such as viruses, trojans, bots and so forth. This malware is created by human programmers to accomplish specific purposes (e.g. steal personal information, pointless terrorism, etc). However, given the right circumstances, is it not possible that analogues of biological ecosystems might arise which use self-replicating computer code in lieu of biological molecules?
