"Threatening users?"

Zhou Hongwei blinked, "Zhang Ning, you won't be joking." ”

"Can we still threaten users?"

"Absolutely."

Zhang Ning nodded affirmatively.

"Threats are a very effective tactic, just as I threaten you. If I tell you that you don't finish your work this afternoon, then you won't receive your bonus this month, and you won't be able to get back to work quickly. ”

"Absolutely."

Zhou Hongwei nodded, "You are the boss, who doesn't listen to you." Besides, even if I don't want to listen to you, I'm going to do it for the sake of money. ”

"That's it, the threat is still effective."

"But what does this have to do with threatening users? Could it be that if we really say that, the user will operate our Penguin Guard. ”

Zhou Hongwei muttered to himself, "This seems impossible." Don't say it's impossible, I'm afraid they see such a threat code, the operation is an operation, but this operation is unloading. ”

"Haha, Brother Zhou, you're thinking too strictly."

Zhang Ning laughed.

"If you follow the threat you just mentioned, it is indeed possible for the user to uninstall it. But we don't have to say it so harshly, we can say it another way. To put it another way, it is also very ruthless and threatening. However, users are not disgusted with our claims. ”

"How can there be such a good thing in the world, since it is a threat, they must hate us to death."

"No, no, Brother Zhou, look, let's change the wording."

Zhang Ning thought about it and immediately wrote a sentence on the paper.

"Dear user, your system has more than 500M garbage, if you don't clean it up, the junk content will hinder your computer speed and affect your Internet access."

"Huh......"

Seeing this text, Zhou Hongwei sighed.

"It looks like a novelty."

"How?"

Seeing that Zhou Hongwei found the difference in this sentence, Zhang Ning said with a smile.

"It's good, at least it's much better than our pop-up language."

The previous pop-up window just said that the spam content is more than 500m, please clear the garbage.

Although it is written like this, many users have carried out operational cleanup under such a reminder.

However, there are also a small percentage of users who ignore such reminders and choose not to do so.

But this sentence is completely different from the previous reminder.

Although the system garbage is still more than 500M, the user must clean it up. However, this sentence directly points out that if you don't clean up, it will directly affect your Internet speed.

Isn't it all about speed?

If the system garbage affects the speed of the Internet and affects the speed of the computer, then how can you go online.

The threat was immediate.

Zhou Hongwei said directly, "Great, such a threat is not to mention ordinary users, even if it is me, when I see such a threat, I guess I can't help but clean it up." ”

"Yes, that's right. Previously, our reminder was too slight and had no effect, although it reminded the user to operate, but we did not remind the consequences of not operating. It's the same as the lawn saying don't tread on it. Although many people will not step on such slogans, there are still a small number of people who ignore such slogans. However, if the sign says, please do not step on it, the offender will be fined 100 yuan, and naturally, such stampede will become less common. ”

"Well, yes, I think we'll have to be a little more strict about the consequences."

Zhou Hongwei nodded, "We not only have to set up some threats to clean up the garbage, but we also need pop-up reminders for system patches, boot speeds, rogue software, and browser plug-ins." The content doesn't just affect the speed of the internet, we also say that it will affect the security of your system, in case you don't update, you don't operate, your instant messaging account will be stolen and hackers will patronize your computer. ”

"Damn, Brother Zhou, it's amazing, I just said it, you can draw inferences so soon."

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the father of rogue software, and casually said that a lot of threats behind him are simply handy.

"I like it, though."

"That's it."

……

Tony is an internet enthusiast.

He loves to surf the internet and he likes to chat with instant messaging.

He also likes to find interesting little software.

Some time ago, Tony downloaded a piece of software called Penguin Guard.

Before, he thought that the Penguin Defender could test the Internet speed, and he could test the boot speed, which was very fun.

However, after playing for a while, Tony didn't find it interesting.

These days, Tony has forgotten about Penguin Guards.

Today, as usual, Tony is ready to go online.

Boot.

28 seconds, which is okay.

一 qiē顺lì.

Just as Tony was about to open the browser, a pop-up popped up at Penguin Guard.

Your system junk has reached 1G, and if you don't clean it up in time, it will affect your Internet speed.

Tony just swept it casually and didn't care.

He had seen such pop-ups before, but he chose to ignore them most of the time.

It's similar to instant messaging pop-up news, which Tony never reads anyway.

It's just that just when Tony ignored the penguin guard and was about to go online, suddenly, Tony suddenly felt that the speed of surfing the Internet seemed to have slowed down.

If it were a normal day, Tony wouldn't feel that way.

Because the speed at which he opened the web page just now was only a little slower, not too slow, and he couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention to it.

It's just that the garbage cleanup mentioned in the penguin video pop-up just now appeared in front of Tony's eyes at this time.

If you don't clean it up in time, will it affect your internet speed?

Could it be because of spam?

If it weren't for this sentence, Tony might never have thought about it for the rest of his life.

But because of this sentence, Tony always thinks about this piece.

Well, clean it up and see how it works.

Tony tried to click on one cleanup, and then cleaned up the others.

When Tony opened the web page again, Tony suddenly felt that the speed of the computer had returned.

No, it's a lot faster than it was.

Damn, this penguin guard is so amazing.

Inside, Tony remembered Penguin Guard.

In the same situation as Tony, there are many other users.

Other users were in a similar situation to Tony, who had ignored Penguin Defender's pop-up alerts for a while.

However, on this day, they saw a pop-up window with even more severe consequences.

You have 30 system patches that have not been updated, and if you do not update them, then your system vulnerabilities may lead to the theft of your account.

The account has been compromised.

I'm going, so strict zhòng, update, update.

I play games every day, and if my account is stolen, I can't go crazy.

I need to update, one of my accounts was stolen the other day. Thinking about it, I didn't think of the reason either. I didn't expect it because my system was not updated. Be sure to update and plug these loopholes.

I don't play games, but I play MSN. If my MSN account is compromised, that's even worse.

To put it so strictly, well, update.

Damn hacker, I'm going to update the patch, and I'll see how you steal my account.

At this time, it doesn't matter if you understand computers or you don't understand computers. But they still understand things like account theft.

I didn't operate it before because I didn't understand the consequences, but now that I know the consequences, how can users still have a reason not to operate.

The user is angry, and the consequences are severe.

After the user was threatened, the previous users who did not operate no longer dared to underestimate it and chose to operate.

Although there are also some users who scolded Penguin for being shameless and saying so harshly, deceiving so many people. In fact, how can it be so powerful. Account theft, account loss, hackers, etc. are not necessarily because your system has not been updated, your account is lost, it may be other reasons.

However, the friend's scolding was not supported by users. Some professionals directly pointed out that the system is indeed more likely to become the target of hacker attacks if it is not updated and patched. After all, if you don't update, you have a vulnerability, and if you don't fix it, hackers will take advantage of it. It doesn't matter if your own computer hackers are patronized or not, and whether hackers take advantage of these vulnerabilities or not. But in short, updating the system patch will not be dangerous to yourself.

Some users also said that it was just a click anyway, which was relatively simple. If you can avoid being stolen and hacked with a few clicks a day, or update a few times a day, then you can use it every day.

There is also user feedback, whether it is true or fake. I'd rather believe in what it has than believe in what it doesn't. Anyway, they've been scared by such pop-ups, so let's do as they say.

Accidentally, after a few threatening pop-ups appeared in Penguin Guard, almost all Penguin Guard users began to operate non-stop after the Penguin Guardian pop-up. Although, this operation time is not long, only a few minutes, and some even 1 minute to complete. However, it took a day or two to operate and a minute or two, and he completed the close operation of the user's Penguin Guard.

Slowly, local users operate Penguin Defender from time to time, and even they don't know when they become loyal users of Penguin Guard.

……

"Haha."

These guys are really threatened.

In an office building in the United States, a middle-aged man with glasses laughed wildly.

"It's really powerful, in that case, well, I'll change the means of threat from time to time."

Someone laughed a few times.

Subsequently, there are users who take a closer look, and they can see.

Penguin Guardian's pop-up reminders are becoming more and more humane.

Basically, after a few days, their pop-up words will be changed.

Today is: you have 10 patches that need to be updated, and if you don't, hackers will hack your computer.

Tomorrow is: You have 1 high-risk vulnerability without patching, if not, be careful with your account.

The day after tomorrow is: No wonder your Internet speed is so slow, it turns out that you haven't cleared the junk information.

The day after tomorrow is: dear, your boot speed is like a snail, you can bear it, I can't stand it.
