Chapter Seventy-Eight: Landing in the United States
The soldiers are fast, Zong Wenxing can lead the team to set off in Silicon Valley, California, USA!
Soon, he rented an office in the local area and quickly acquired a small American Internet company as Qihoo's US branch.
Now, the domestic 'sweeping wave' virus has been controlled, and the antivirus software in the United States is still helpless against this virus.
Unprotected U.S. users are no different from running naked in a virus-infested environment.
"Giant antivirus, you don't do anything when you collect money, my company is about to be occupied by the virus!"
"I brag on the Internet every day, and I don't see you so positive when something happens!"
"Even buy Ka, I don't dare to connect to the Internet, for fear that I will be recruited as soon as I go online!"
"Although this is due to choking, there is no way to do it, I am also disconnected from the Internet, and it is inconvenient to work. β
Computer users in the United States have been complaining on the Internet that antivirus software companies led by Giant Antivirus have been cordially greeted by netizens.
However, even if they scolded these companies to the core, Giant Antivirus could not immediately find a way to contain the virus.
And Microsoft's customer service complaint phone has also been flooded by users.
At the end of the day, a virus that is able to attack a user's computer is exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft's system.
That's exactly what Microsoft is responsible for.
Microsoft had no choice but to issue an announcement saying that it was already researching the attack method of the virus.
At this time, a company named QIHU released a 360 antivirus software, which claimed to be able to intercept and kill the 'sweeping wave' virus!
What's more, the software is freeware!
Although it was only announced that it would be free for two years, it still caused an uproar on the Internet in the United States.
Internet practitioners and netizens in the United States wondered, which company is this, and is it doing false propaganda?
"I haven't heard of this company, I don't know where it came from, I feel like it's blowing too much!"
"Yes, I think so too, but what are they doing this for?"
"Of course, it's eye-catching, I've seen a lot of such small companies, and I'll do whatever it takes to get hot!"
"God, has anyone tried it? What if it's true!"
"Haha, Giant Antivirus and Microsoft have no way, he is a small company that doesn't know where it came from, how can it be true. β
"I'd rather believe it.,I downloaded it and tried it.,The function is more powerful than Giant Antivirus.,And it's simple and easy to use.,The occupation is very low! β
"Oh! I swear it's true, I just downloaded the app, scanned it, and found several latent viruses!"
"It can't be a false positive, right? Oh God, there's a stupid human being deceived!"
"360? I haven't heard of it, what kind of company is QIHU? β
It is true that a new company that has recently been acquired and established, a new product, naturally does not make any splashes on the Internet in the United States.
However, in such a virus-ridden online world, there are still people who are willing to believe in these slim hopes.
"Thank God, my computer has been poisoned before, download this software to help me check and kill it immediately! Everyone, my computer is restored!"
"Really? I hope you don't lie to me, or I'll kick your ass!"
With the spread of news that some users on the Internet have used 360 Security Guard to detect and kill viruses and have been effective, netizens have become interested in this software.
At the same time, with the attitude of giving it a try, download it and install it.
Anyway, it's free, even if it's useless, it doesn't matter, at most give them a bad review when the time comes, and complain.
As a result, 360 Security Guard began to spread across the Internet in the United States.
"Thank you buddy for your recommendation, the software is really easy to use, to say something offended, complete the explosion of giant antivirus, I like him!"
"My friend, don't be afraid of offending, after all, what you say is the truth!"
It turns out that the 360 Security Guard is excellent and very popular among American computer users.

Giant Network, Giant Antivirus Division.
"Hey, Michelle, where's the boss? I've got something important to look for him!" Pete, the operations officer of Giant Antivirus, saw the boss's secretary Michelle and stopped her and asked.
Michelle was wearing a black professional outfit and high heels, and her already tall and plump figure looked even longer.
Delicate and three-dimensional facial features, high nose bridge and narrow big eyes, royal blue eyes, typical European and American women.
In the eyes of Americans, this is a beautiful woman with a lot of possibility.
Michelle stopped and glanced at Pete in bewilderment, he had never seen him so anxious to find his boss.
"The boss went to the hospital today and didn't come back, is there anything wrong with you?" Michelle answered Pete's question and asked in turn, as the boss's secretary, she can handle and decide some things instead of the boss.
"Oh my God, no wonder I couldn't get through to him!" Pete crossed his left hand on his waist and pushed his blonde hair back with his right hand, a little anxious.
"Don't panic, tell me anything beforehand. Michelle reassured.
Pete had no choice but to say: "Recently, we have been receiving complaints from customers accusing our software of failing to block the computer viruses that are now prevalent. β
"I know this, and the boss also understands, isn't the technical department doing relevant development?" Michelle frowned, she didn't think there was any need to be in such a hurry.
"No, no, no, you're wrong, Michelle, you listen to me. Pete waved his hand and said: "Listen, our company, no, it should be our anti-virus industry, there are strong opponents." β
"QIHU Technology, I don't know if you've heard of it, they have released an anti-virus product that can intercept and kill the current virus, and many of our users have begun to lose!"
"What?" Michelle was stunned, this was something she hadn't expected at all, Qihoo Technology she hadn't heard of.
If it is a well-known antivirus company in the United States like Giant Antivirus, Michelle will not be so surprised.
And now, Qihoo Technology is clearly a little-known company, how can they be?
Could it be that it is a subsidiary of a large Internet company?
"Have you used that software, and how does it work?" Michelle wanted to confirm.
"I downloaded the virus on purpose, and as soon as I downloaded the software, I reported the virus, and after I installed the virus, I ran their software, and the virus was really cleaned up!" Pete shrugged a little frustrated.
"And that's not the worst thing, the scary thing is that their software is free! Two years free!"
"I'm in trouble right now, how are our users doing now?" said Michelle's brow.
"At present, it has lost nearly two million users, and it is still growing!"
"I'll go to the hospital to find the boss, listen, Pete, you go to the Internet to guide the user, just say, this is a virus deliberately spread by Qihoo Technology, it is important to keep the user!"
Michelle instructed Pete as she walked quickly out the door.
In order to keep the user, she must not use this kind of means that cannot be put on the table to lead the trouble!

"Friends, I just saw a great god analysis, saying that this is a virus deliberately spread by Qihoo Technology, just to make their software popular!"
"Even buy Ka, these people are really bad, I praised them before, but now it seems that I am stupid!"
"Such a company, is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology just letting them go, please be sure to let Qihoo Technology compensate me for my losses!"
"#ε₯θη ζ―#ζε ¬εΈε δΈΊη ζ―ε ₯δΎ΅ζε€±ζ¨ι, Qihoo, the culprit, must be punished!"
Some radical people directly posted the topic of crusading Qihoo Technology on the Internet.
This makes Qihoo Technology more well-known to netizens, but it is not a good reputation!
"What happened? What is the Qihoo virus? What did he do?"
"My friend, the United States has been established, and you are still eating melons!"
"Qihoo virus is the computer virus that Qihoo Technology has recently popularized, which was deliberately spread by Qihoo Technology, and now netizens are asking them for an explanation!"
"Spreading the virus on purpose?Oh, that's really bad, let me kick his ass!"
Netizens are easily guided by public opinion, they will not analyze things more, they will just follow the crowd.
Therefore, at this time, Qihoo Technology's reputation in the United States was already in disarray.
That's not a bad thing, though.
After all, the virus was not spread by Qihoo, and no matter how wild it went on the Internet, it would not have much impact on Qihoo.
The people in the high hall are not as easy to fool as ordinary netizens.
The effect of Michelle's trick is obvious, and their users have all but stopped churning.
However, Qihoo 360 Security Guard is even more popular!
Although people have accused Qihoo of spreading the virus, it does not make the virus go away.
And the 360 security guard happens to be able to protect your own computer, which makes you have to use it honestly while scolding.
Since the virus is created by your family, then your product can naturally intercept and kill the virus, so it is difficult to use it first.
"I didn't like it, but I still installed 360 Security Guard, which made me chagrined!"
"It's like someone fed me poison and then gave me an antidote, and I can't accept it, it's really annoying!"
"There's no way, now I can only use this software first, I hope Giant Antivirus and Microsoft can give a little more force, don't let Qihoo Technology run rampant for too long!"

Zong Wenxing was in the company, watching various discussions on the Internet, drinking a cup of freshly brewed coffee, so uncomfortable.
Recently, he has been working day and night in the United States to establish Qihoo Technology, and then release and publicize its products, and he is exhausted.
However, seeing that there are now nearly 10 million active users of 360 Security Guard, he is excited and has taken the first step!
Rumors spread on the Internet that were unfavorable to Qihoo Technology, and Zong Wenxing wanted to thank them instead, and it was because of these rumors that the installed capacity of 360 Security Guards reached this number.
As for reputation, Zong Wenxing won't worry too much.
In less than two days, the topic of online criticism of Qihoo Technology has risen instead of falling.
Because, in addition to Giant Antivirus, the culprit of spreading the virus is pointed at Qihoo, some other antivirus companies are also spreading rumors against Qihoo.
Today, the 'Sweep Wave' worm has swept across the United States, infecting five million users!
This makes Qihoo Technology's infamy even worse!
Qihoo Technology's official website, which has never issued a statement, suddenly released new information.
This caused a shock on the Internet in the United States!
