Chapter 10 Bee Killing

Like the new input method is e7u based on common input methods such as Ziguang Pinyin, Pinyin Plus, Microsoft Pinyin, and Smart aBc, the result of the optimal combination, it provides antivirus software for Atletico Madrid, in fact, it is also an optimized combination of a variety of antivirus software on the market.

Of course, this kind of improvised "multi-engine n-in-1" antivirus software is not the best in Atletico's mind: it only improves execution efficiency and reduces resource occupation by optimizing the code, which is not in line with Atletico's software philosophy.

In his thinking, the core goal of computer software should be "user first", and the software should try to ensure that the user - that is, Atletico itself - can use the computer more freely, and use the hardware to the best of its ability to serve the user. This philosophy is reflected in antivirus software, which believes that antivirus software should ensure that the user has control over the computer and cannot be taken away by other people, other software, or even hardware bugs (vulnerabilities).

Therefore, although the antivirus software he envisioned is called antivirus software, in fact, the main function is to kill rogue software, because rogue software advertising pop-ups are more likely to be encountered on the Internet than virus Trojans.

Even in order to better combat various advertising pop-ups when browsing the web, Atletico Madrid is also preparing to equip e7u with a multi-tab, ad-free and refreshing browser based on the IE browser kernel that comes with windows.

As the chief experiencer and functional designer of this antivirus software, Atletico only needs to open up to e7u what functions he needs, and the functions that can be achieved will soon be added, and then he will try them out himself, and then remove the undesirable functions. However, because the current primary goal is to win the college entrance examination, for the time being, we can only make minor repairs to the existing antivirus software, and we have not had time to rebuild a new antivirus engine.

The most important thing at the moment is that Atletico need to come up with a loud and memorable name for both software.

"Atletico input method, Atletico antivirus and other names are the first to be excluded. Both of these apps were made to make it easier for me to find the real perpetrator, not to make a name for myself. ”

Thinking of the "apple cougar" he saw in the school's computer room earlier, Atletico suddenly had the idea to name it after an animal.

"A pair of fangs and sharp teeth are very powerful. But this product is extinct, and it is a little unlucky. ”

"Blue whales, the largest creatures on Earth. But does this mean that the software is clunky and sluggish?"

"Ants, nimble and clever little things. However, there is Internet ant software on the Internet, which may be confused. ”

"Polar bear, the king of the north and the south with the buttoned penguin. It feels okay, but how does it feel like the name of a winter suit or a refrigerator?"

In the end, after struggling for a long time, Atletico finally came up with a good name - bee.

First of all, bees give a better impression: industrious little bees, and at the same time, bees also have a certain danger or combat effectiveness. At the same time, bees are small insects that are flexible and intelligent like ants, reflecting the characteristics of this software that is easy to access and light to use.

And the name "bee" has another benefit, which happens to be a homonym for "free", which is conducive to the promotion of the two software that are planned to operate for free.

Bees, like social animals such as ants, locusts, geese, and swifts, often exhibit swarm intelligence, with individual low-intelligence individuals cooperating with each other to surprising humans in their overall behavior. For example, bees and ants "find food, ventilate and report, and work collectively", locust swarms run wild, geese fly in formation, and swifts and other groups of small social birds fly into various large patterns.

And "cluster intelligence, network investigation" is also the real feature and core function of Atletico Madrid's antivirus software in addition to nosy and rogue software.

The purpose of this feature is not to better serve users, but to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of antivirus software.

As we all know, antivirus software and virus Trojan horses are like lions and antelopes in the African savannah, and in competition with each other, they also use their own evolution to force each other to continue to evolve, the fast antelope starves to death the slower lion, and the fast, strong lion bites the slower antelope (male lions generally only fight other predators, because the powerful and domineering mane is good for deterring jackals > but not good for camouflage hunting).

Antivirus software is often the first target to be solved by default after virus infection, so antivirus software needs to be constantly updated to ensure that viruses are found and removed in the first time.

This will cause a lot of operation and maintenance expenses, but it deviates from Atletico's original intention, he just needs to occupy more users' desktops, and helping to kill the virus is just an excuse to enter.

Therefore, after communicating with e7u, he designed a function with "cluster intelligence" for his "bee antivirus" - "networked and coordinated immune system".

According to his design, all running "Bee Antivirus" will join a regional P2P peer-to-peer network and "share" their respective detection results and application-specific behavior records with each other. Atletico's official servers then collect virus statistics and application behavior records from these local P2P networks, which can greatly reduce the bandwidth requirements of the official servers and reduce operating expenses.

For example, a program AQZ is reported. exe has been very naughty lately, always downloading some files to the computer, or always regularly iterating to a certain website, "bee" will list it as a "list of risky programs", carry out key monitoring and "report" other nearby network clients, once more serious behavior is found, it will be resolutely cracked down.

Another example is that a new virus is raging, some "bee antivirus" hangs up, and its auxiliary monitoring program will send a message "dying", and then the nearby "bee network" will immediately take the initiative to check once it finds an unfamiliar executable file or program abnormality to avoid further damage.

Of course, such a fully automatic way of "upgrading and updating the virus database" will inevitably bring problems such as oversensitivity, false killing, false positives, and even random machine freezing due to false positives.

Atletico don't have to worry about this, because his "Bee Antivirus" doesn't intend to make money.

In this era when antivirus software has to be paid to use, the first permanently free antivirus software, I believe that users will maintain a certain degree of tolerance for the stumbles in its growth. And with this buffer, the bee disinfection after growth will not be so sensitive and impatient.

And in order to prevent false positives from causing more damage, "Bee Antivirus" is relatively gentle on the handling of virus suspicious files, mainly using isolation and prohibition of operation, unlike other antivirus software that says that it is to remove viruses, but it is actually a simple deletion of infected files.

Once a user discovers a false positive, they can immediately remove the file from quarantine or even whitelist it to avoid another false positive.

For the "linkage immune system", the biggest design difficulty is how to balance the weight of the "dangerous program list", "risk program list", "suspicious program list", "user white list" and "security program list" on software evaluation.

Overly biased towards the "blacklist", antivirus software suspects that all active checks for suspicious and risky files will lead to false positives due to frequent dispatches, and will also occupy computing resources, resulting in stuck, which is very easy to cause user disgust and cause the software to be uninstalled and abandoned.

However, it is too biased towards the "white list", and the software is completely passive waiting for the user to manually check the virus, although it can not interfere with the normal use of the user to the greatest extent, but it is also likely to make the antivirus software ineffective when the computer is poisoned, and finally the bad reputation will be uninstalled.

How to balance the results requires long-term testing and the collection of a large amount of usage data to arrive at the best solution.

It is believed that with the increase in the number of users, the ability of cluster intelligence will also be greatly improved, and Bee Antivirus will only become smarter and easier to use.

Of course, as the author and the driving force behind it, Atletico Madrid will always pay attention to the development of Bee Antivirus, and constantly update and upgrade the engine and add new features.

The new antivirus engine continuously reduces the consumption of computing resources, while also improving the overall smoothness and user experience by optimizing the system.

On the virtual screen in front of Atletico Madrid, with the help of the "Soul Painter" module, the bee motif of two styles quickly appeared and was refined.

The logo of "Bee Pinyin Input Method" is a pink and white worker bee, and the logo of "Bee Antivirus" is a blue and white drone. Drones and worker bees are similar in appearance, but they are longer and stronger. Atletico also painted a bubble on the head of the pink worker bee to represent speech, and a green cartoon armor on the back of the drone bee to kill the bee, hoping to highlight their identity with these two additional elements.

The reason why the original orange and black color scheme of the bee is not used is mainly due to the fact that this color scheme is a natural warning color, which is dangerous and not friendly enough. Therefore, the bee image in the logo is not only cartoonized, but also modified to further increase the affinity. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
