Liu Jun handed Su Qingzhi the printed out information about the principle, symptoms, harms and transmission methods of the "Golden Snake Nafu" virus, and said: "These are all basic information, you can understand it first." ”

Su Qingzhi is not from a professional background, but he has been immersed in the Internet industry for a long time, and he has a certain understanding of "worms", and these materials can be roughly understood.

"As of yesterday, more than two million computers in China have been infected to varying degrees, and the virus code has not yet been cracked, and the mastermind behind the release of this virus has not been found, so we can only carry out passive defense......," Liu Jun said.

Su Qingzhi listened and asked: "Kaspersky, Rising, Hongrui, Zhi'an and other antivirus software can't be effectively killed?"

Liu Jun analyzed: "There are many antivirus software that can do the detection and killing of the 'Golden Snake Nafu', and even some can even kill variants, as for why this part of the computer will be recruited, it is related to the user's behavior and habits." ”

"I personally believe that there are three main reasons for the large-scale outbreak of the 'Golden Snake Nafu' virus. ”

"First, the domestic antivirus software technology has not been able to be in line with international standards, and there are obvious shortcomings at the technical level, which has failed to keep up with the rapid development of the Internet, and needs to be further strengthened in terms of virus detection and prevention. ”

"Second, in order to save antivirus software service fees, a considerable number of users have not installed or installed cracked antivirus software at all, especially in Internet cafes and other places where computers are concentrated, which has become the hardest hit area of virus outbreaks. ”

"Third, for objective reasons, there are loopholes in the coding of Microsoft system and Internet Explorer, and they have been exploited by criminals......"

Su Qingzhi listened carefully, and when Liu Jun finished speaking, he pondered for a while and asked, "Are there any commonalities among those computers infected by viruses?"

Xu Youzhi looked at Su Qingzhi and said with a smile: "Regarding this issue, Senior Brother Liu has already discussed it with us just now, but I think his speculation is a bit bold, and it can even be said to be crazy. ”

Su Qingzhi let out an "oh" and glanced at Liu Jun.

Immediately, his fingertips tapped lightly on the desktop and asked, "Senior Brother Liu, do you think that the most noisy antivirus software companies are shouting to catch thieves?"

When Liu Jun heard this, he couldn't help but have a shiny eye: "What is your basis?"

Xu Youzhi and Zhang Min also looked at Su Qingzhi with interest.

He wasn't there just now, and when Liu Jun said that the "Golden Snake Nafu" virus might have been created by Zhi'an and other antivirus companies, the two of them were really scared.

Antivirus companies create their own viruses to attack their products? Unless they have water in their brains, they would never do such a brain-dead thing.

Xu Youzhi and Zhang Min felt that Liu Jun's thinking had gone astray, and he was even a little mad in order to take revenge on Zhi'an.

After all, his grievances with Zhi'an Company are not a secret, and a large part of the reason why Liu Jun joined Zhongzhou Technology was to take revenge on Zhi'an.

However, now Su Qingzhi actually has such a speculation, which is interesting.

Could it be that the uproar of the "Golden Snake Nafu" this time was really made by the anti-virus company, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief?

Su Qingzhi sorted out his thoughts a little and said his speculation:

"I heard that one of the topics at this Internet anti-virus conference was that the annual fee for antivirus software should be increased? ”

"Your price has risen too high, it's a big deal that I don't need to uninstall it, can't I use the computer without the antivirus software? ”

"At this juncture, the price increase is proposed, a bit of a robbery while the fire is burning, even if the user has an opinion, there is nothing to do, you don't install anti-virus software, the computer is in danger of being infected with the 'Golden Snake Nafu' virus, so in the face of the price increase, you have to accept it if you don't accept it. ”

"After a while, several antivirus software companies announced that they would update their virus databases, release new patches, and upgrade their products. ”

"At this time, the antivirus company will issue an announcement to the outside world that the function of our software has been improved, the service is better, the cost is here, and the price will naturally rise, is this reasonable?"

At present, the profits of the antivirus software industry are generally too low, coupled with the fact that users have not developed the habit of paying for services, resulting in the market share of antivirus software is not too high, and most companies are struggling to survive.

In order to keep the company alive, everyone has something to eat, and "price increase" is the most simple and crude and effective way.

However, antivirus software is a virtual product, unlike radish and cabbage, which is greatly affected by the market, and once the price is fixed, it is easy to reduce the price and difficult to increase the price.

If you want to increase the price, you must let the user accept the recognition, if the price is rashly raised, in case it causes a large-scale uninstallation of users, then the product brand, this company is finished.

However, this matter is not a problem at all for some antivirus software companies that have no bottom limit, and they have a thousand and ten thousand methods to make users obediently accept the price increase.

Specifically, you can start with the user's computer and artificially create a little panic, such as 'Golden Snake Nafu', forcing the user to install anti-virus software for defense.

At this time, the antivirus software company can announce that in order to resist the invasion of the virus, they have to upgrade the product and improve the service...... Isn't this a famous teacher?

In his previous life, Su Qingzhi had not seen such a routine, so he boldly guessed that the most fierce antivirus software companies that were clamoring for might be thieves shouting to catch thieves, and maybe the "Golden Snake Nafu" was created by them together.

Of course, there are considerable risks associated with such an operation.

First of all, the price increase must be the entire industry rises, if there is a rise or fall, under the same conditions, most users prefer low prices, and the price increase means losing the market.

Second, if you can't break through the virus to attack your own antivirus products, then the plan to increase prices will fail, and if you do, what else do users want to do with antivirus software? Who wants to spend money in vain?

Last but not least, if the creation or dissemination of computer viruses is caught by the relevant law enforcement agencies of the state, the consequences will be serious.

Of course, since they dare to do some things, they are not afraid of being caught, and even if they do, they can clear up the relationship.

In the past two years, China's Internet has grown so rapidly that even antivirus software companies have not been able to keep up with the pace of market development, let alone national regulators, who are often slow to respond.

Of course, Su Qingzhi's inferences are all assumptions out of thin air, without any factual basis.

However, he had seen such a routine in his previous life, so it cannot be ruled out that some companies do not hesitate to take risks for the sake of profit, otherwise why would they set up the "Internet Anti-Virus Association" at this juncture?

Isn't this a signal of "unity of breath"?

After Su Qingzhi finished speaking, Xu Youzhi, Zhang Min, and Zhang Ying nodded, obviously agreeing with his guess.

Liu Jun's extremely aggressive eyes were blazing, and he looked at Su Qing and knew: "Your speculation is indeed very reasonable, but after all, there is no evidence, and I am afraid that no one will believe it." ”

"I've been doing market research outside these days, and I have some evidence in my hands, and I can basically conclude that 'Golden Snake Nafu' is jointly made by several antivirus software companies!"

Su Qingzhi, Xu Youzhi, and Zhang Min couldn't help but feel refreshed when they heard this.
