I have learned from different literature is that the origin of viruses is not well known though there are different theories on the subject. I am looking explanations from RG users on current perspectives on the accepted thoughts about the evolutionary origin of viruses.
Thanks
This is an intriguing and interesting topic, that has not been fully worked out. We have some answers that are accepted in the scholarly literature.

You could well start by reviewing and summarising these disparate references above. Start with Article The ancient Virus World and evolution of cells
This is good question. I think studies examined different viruses and these publications may answer your question:
- Velislava N Petrova and Colin A Russell. The evolution of seasonal influenza viruses. Nature Reviews Microbiology volume 16, pages 47–60 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.118
- Chong Li, et al. Genetic evolution of influenza H9N2 viruses isolated from various hosts in China from 1994 to 2013. Emerging Microbes & Infections volume 6, page e106 (2017).
