At this time, the United States is also very lively, but they are not interested in football news, of course, they are interested in the scandal. However, this time the media is lively, but the people who eat melons are already a little aesthetically fatigued. It's still Colin who said it well, he said in his show: "We have to be calm, Bramble is habitually grabbing headlines!"

No one noticed that in the corner of some financial newspapers and computer magazines, there was a very inconspicuous news, Bluestar.com launched a new PC version of the antivirus software, and it can be upgraded online, promising to be free forever.

With the popularity of personal computers, computer viruses have also slowly become a hot topic. Especially at that time, people did not know about computer viruses, and often could only know about them from imaginary film and television works, which led to the mystification and demonization of computer viruses. There is really such a joke that the child's computer was infected with a virus, and he asked for help from the "omniscient and all-powerful" father, and then the father took all the computers apart, let them soak in water, and poured a large bottle of antibiotics into them...... ⊙ˍ⊙

As a result, many users are struggling with computer viruses. However, at this time, the research of antivirus software has just begun, and after computer poisoning, it is generally solved by specialized computer security experts. As you can imagine, firstly, PC users have little access to those security experts, and secondly, those people are expensive, except for those large enterprises, and individuals simply cannot afford to pay these people. Where there is demand, there is a market, so in Silicon Valley, around the world, there are many small teams that are conducting research on antivirus software. And only last year, the first antivirus software, Mcafee, was just born.

Free antivirus may be tiny news to the world, but to the teams that are working on it, it's like a bolt from the blue. They do research because they want to sell software to make money, and you actually come here for free? How do you make other people live?

......

Thanks to Jing Jian's guidance, the computer virus software research team of Bingshan Network has been established for more than a year, and now is almost the time to produce results.

In fact, antivirus software is really not very high-end in terms of technology. Don't you see, in the 90s, there were quite a few antivirus software companies in China? There were even short-lived antivirus cards. Almost on the same page as all the antivirus companies in the world.

Don't look at antivirus technology as mysterious, in fact, no matter how the version of the antivirus software is upgraded or how the concept changes, the basic principle is "antivirus engine + feature code matching", the antivirus engine is a gun, the feature code is a bullet, the more bullets there are, the more viruses can be killed. This is why, many people use pirated viruses to kill viruses, because they can't upgrade the signature database, they can't deal with new viruses.

I won't go into detail about the principles of antivirus software here. All we need to know is that the antivirus vendor will build a signature database and put the signatures of all the collected virus samples into it. The signature code is a piece of program code similar to a "search keyword" that the virus analyst finds out the differences between the virus program and the legitimate software.

Well, let's put it simply! Antivirus software is the process of scanning your computer for all the files that are poisoned and destroying them all.

One is to collect a large number of samples, and the other is to continuously add the signature codes of new viruses to the signature database. Of course, users need to constantly upgrade the latest feature library.

There is no doubt that antivirus vendors don't need a lot of technology, and they don't need a big team. But there are two problems to solve: one is to have a reputation in the industry. If there are many user reports, other antivirus vendors will want you to share, so won't your feature database become more and more complete, and the upgrade speed will be fast? It's very helpless, the messy computer virus is upgraded too quickly.

......

In fact, after returning to Los Angeles, I discussed with Jim, the senior management of Iceberg Network and Bluestar, to integrate the entire antivirus software team into Bluestar.com for free, and launch it for free, which was almost unanimously strongly opposed at that time. It's already been fruitful, and now that it's going to become a new profit point, why is it free?

Jim's words are more representative: "Boss, I'm not against free promotion, but I will definitely make a profit by selling software in the future." And you still want to give it to Bluestar for free? Didn't you plan to open a subsidiary of Bingshan that specializes in antivirus software?"

Jing Jian was also quite helpless about Jim's questions. In fact, this was not the case at all. Originally, I was going to set up a subsidiary at about the same time, specializing in antivirus software, and I made a big deal by taking advantage of the lead. After becoming famous, let Bluestar invest in a high-priced acquisition, and then use the 360 model, hooligan bundling, and snowballing to increase users. After the launch of browsers and search engines, the dominance of Bluestar in the portal website will not be promoted.

found no, which made the iceberg network make two large bucks less at once. One is to sell antivirus software now, and the other is to sell companies. Doesn't Jing Jian want to? Isn't there no way?

Fortunately, Jing Jian's prestige was high enough, and his plan was not well known to others, and after some explanation, Jim and the others reluctantly agreed to this plan.

By the way, in the Internet era, some projects can indeed be studied in advance, but the timing of the introduction to the market is very particular. Let's take a look at the following famous companies: Netscape, the pioneer and martyr of browsers, was founded in '94, Yahoo, the pioneer and martyr of search engines, was founded in '95, ICQ, the pioneer and martyr of social software, was founded in '96, and Amazon, the pioneer of e-commerce, and eBay, both founded in '95.

Well, forget about that what a martyr, this is the brutal survival of the fittest in the Internet age. Did you find a pattern? These companies were all founded around '95. Why? This is the development of technology, and it also needs to match the hardware and software with the external environment. Even if you have a World Wide Web protocol, you still need a telecom company to lay out the lines? You need a PC to be able to develop to use software, right? Otherwise, a memory alone is not enough to make you stare dryly.

Although the World Wide Web appeared a year ahead of schedule because of Jing Jian, the great development of the Internet era will have to wait until at least 92 or 93. So now, the only thing that can be used is this antivirus.
