By the end of 2001, the number of computers in Longguo had reached more than 220 million. The increase in broadband speed and fee reduction have caused a significant increase in the number of computer installations in units and households.

The increase in the number of computers has led to the vigorous development of the software market. All kinds of computer applications have sprung up like mushrooms.

The number of Internet cafes in various places has also increased significantly, and some young people whose families do not have computers have flocked to Internet cafes to surf the Internet.

It can be said that 2001 was the first year of great development of computers and networks in Longguo. Since the beginning of this year, the growth rate of the computer market and the network market in Dragon Kingdom has hardly fallen below 30%.

"Huazi, where are you? My computer has a blue screen? Can you give your buddy a rescue? ”

"Damn, this is the statistical table I just finished in two days, my computer is poisoned?"

"My computer looks like a Trojan horse?"

With the development of computers, network viruses have also begun to appear wildly, which is something that the Dragon Kingdom has not yet experienced.

"I have installed Ruixing anti-virus software now, and my computer is virus-free."

"How much does Ruixing cost you buy a year? 260 a year"

"Kao, this has caught up with a year's broadband bill, it's really dark..."

Something like this every day, I don't know how much it will happen in the Dragon Kingdom every day.

"Husband, my computer is poisoned, come and take a look..."Haiya's computer was also poisoned, and she shouted Zhaohui in the study.

"You're almost born, and you're still online."

"I'm just too bored, and I want to check the knowledge of pregnancy and babies on the Internet."

"I'll take a look."

Since the widespread use of computers, Zhaohui has also gone to the National Academy of Sciences to learn some computer network knowledge. Viruses in general are no match for him.

"This time the virus is a little strange, and it is more tenacious than ever. None of the antivirus programs I've installed for you in the past have worked. I'll need to rewrite another set of code, and I guess it will take some time, so you can take a break for yourself. ”

"Husband, when will there be no virus on the Internet? Or when the antivirus software doesn't need money, so that netizens don't get poisoned at every turn, how much impact is this! ”

"As long as there is a network, there will be a virus. But when you say it's free, it's a good idea. Once the antivirus software is free, the antivirus software industry chain will be changed. I estimate that quite a few of these online viruses are the work of these antivirus software companies. In order to compete, they developed some viruses that only their own companies could detect, which made netizens miserable. It seems that we have contacted some experts to set up a free anti-virus company to subvert the business model of the anti-virus market. ”

Zhaohui was programming and talking to Haya.

After more than an hour, the anti-virus program was programmed, and after operation, the virus was checked and killed.

"Hey, seaside? Can you come to my house in the evening, by the way, help me find a few of your colleagues, I want to talk to you about anti-virus. ”

"Okay, I'll bring a few masters over, but you have to cook more, let's go over and eat."

"Don't worry, it's enough."

As soon as he got off work in the evening, Pan Haibin took his four friends to kill Ben Zhaohui's family together. Pan Haibin works at the Institute of Computer Science of the National Academy of Sciences. Pan Haibin was also Zhaohui's former companion at the Huanghuai Institute of Hydrology. The four people he brought this time, and two of them were also friends there. Later, they all went to the junior class of the National University of Science and Technology. While studying, these geniuses took on the work of the Computer Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences.

"Zhaohui, let me introduce you, in fact, you also know the two, only Lu Xiaoyuan you don't know, he is a turtle, he used to study computer science at Caltech in Sam's Country, and now he is serving the motherland and is in the same place as us."

"Welcome Zou Gong"

"Hello General Zhao, it's an honor to meet you. I almost went to Hua Wei, and then the country recruited cyber security talents, and I was recruited. ”

"It's okay to call me Zhaohui directly, so that we can communicate more naturally."

"Okay, Zhaohui, I don't like red tape either."

"Let's eat first, let's talk while we eat." Zhaohui beckoned everyone to sit down at the table.

Zhaohui told everyone about his idea of setting up a free antivirus company. I hope you will get involved in this company in your spare time.

"If we release free antivirus software, it will be equivalent to ruining the jobs of many antivirus companies. Foreign companies such as Simon and Nordun, and domestic companies such as Jinshan and Ruixing will be affected. ”

"Do you think these companies only kill viruses? Maybe it's even a drug-making thing. ”

"We're just going to make antivirus free so that the companies that sell it have no commercial interest. This will reduce the number of viruses in the network. ”

"If we offer a free model, how do we feed the company's people?"

"If you think about it, we provide good and cost-free antivirus software, so many netizens will use our antivirus software. If there are more people, we can have advertising revenue, as well as other income, and we will not worry about the realization of traffic with traffic. ”

"We can also make browsers, now netizens are using foreign search engines, we publish our own search engines, form our own portals, and make a lot of money."

"In this way, I will give you 100 million yuan in the early stage, and you are responsible for recruiting some private masters, and we will set up our own software company. Focus on the anti-virus direction first. Zhaohui was the final word.

"Okay, that's it, let's go together." The seaside also expressed its stance on behalf of several small partners.

In the end, everyone elected Lu Xiaoyuan to come out full-time to do this. Everyone also gave themselves the name "365". The so-called 365 is 365 days a year, and the service has no blind spots and no dead ends.

After more than three months of hard work, Lu Xiaoyuan led his team to collect viruses at home and abroad. It has built its own large database of viruses. And the existing anti-virus software of various companies at home and abroad was systematically studied. Even the bugs that may appear in the computer field in the future are deduced.

In the end, Lu Xiaoyuan lived up to expectations and released his first free antivirus product on April 24, 2002: Dongfanghong version 1.0.

When the software was first released, it wasn't very popular. Everyone generally has the idea that there is no good thing to be cheap. Only those early adopters and naked owners who are unwilling to spend money on antivirus software have begun to try to use Dongfanghong antivirus software.

A month later, in the computer antivirus software ranking version, customer satisfaction survey. The customer satisfaction rate of Dongfanghong Antivirus is as high as 99.2%. This time, netizens began to realize the power of Dongfanghong's antivirus software. A month later, the installed base of Dongfanghong's antivirus software reached more than 8 million.

By July 2002, the number of installed users of Dongfang*Red antivirus software reached more than 20 million. At this moment, several major antivirus software companies can't sit still. They began to hire water armies on the Internet and began to attack Dongfanghong's antivirus software.

"Hurry up and uninstall Dongfanghong, your personal privacy information has been leaked by them!"

"Dongfanghong Software plagiarized the software copyright of Nuodun Company, ignoring intellectual property rights! I've been prosecuted..."

For a time, the information of 365 company's malicious attack was flooded on the domestic and foreign networks. There are a bunch of people in various forums who slander and spread rumors about 365.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyuan is a person with hard ears. No matter what he says outside, he has always adhered to his own direction and studied computer viruses with excellence. He also stood up from time to time, accepted interviews with the media, expressed some of his own opinions,-for-tat with the trolls in major forums, and even confronted the false accusations of domestic and foreign anti-virus companies.

Soon, Lu Xiaoyuan was given a big hat on the Internet: "Red Clothes **". It means that no matter who you meet, if you don't agree with each other, you will open up. And it's so powerful that it's never hidden.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhaohui was coaxing the children at home. Haiqing and Haiya gave birth to a daughter and a son respectively for Zhaohui. By the way, Yerena also gave birth to a beautiful daughter for Zhaohui in the Great Mao Country. Zhaohui suddenly became a father of three children.

At this time, the phone call from the seaside suddenly came in.

"Zhaohui, no, Lu Xiaoyuan seems to be missing. The call to him has been out of the service area. And he hasn't been to the company for two days in a row. The company's personnel also went to his place to live, but no one opened the door when they knocked on the door. ”

"Did you report the crime?"

"Reported."

"I'll go over right away, and we'll go to Xiaoyuan's residence to meet."

Before Zhaohui went, he made a phone call to Captain Wen Haitao of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau. briefly talked about the situation, and hoped that he would take someone to investigate.

Half an hour later, when Zhaohui arrived at the community where Lu Xiaoyuan lived, Pan Haibin and Captain Wen Haitao had already arrived. Wen Haitao asked people to open the door of Lu Xiaoyuan's house, and several criminal policemen were investigating.

"How's it going?" Zhaohui asked.

"It is estimated that it may be a kidnapping. Before I came, I asked someone to call up the call of Lu Xiaoyuan's mobile phone, and his last call was at 8:17 p.m. on July 11, that is, the night before yesterday, from the base station of this community. However, we didn't get any fingerprints from the doorknob in the room, and it looked like the doorknob had been wiped. These two points are very contradictory. It can only be preliminarily determined that it is a kidnapping, and the final conclusion needs to wait for the results of the investigation to be made before deciding. Captain Wen said.

"Who kidnapped Lu Xiaoyuan?" Zhaohui searched quickly in his mind.
