rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 366 The era when computer viruses were rampant

The person who opened the door for Chen Li was Song Xiaolan.

But when Chen Li entered the room, he was startled by the people in the room.

"Mr. Chen~ You are finally back!"

"I called you countless times before, and you can't get in touch with me now!"

As soon as Chen Li entered the room, Ma Xiaoyun immediately greeted him.

This guy was so impatient that Chen Li thought something big had happened.

"What's wrong? My cell phone. Hey~ the battery is out again!"

If it is actually twenty years later, this sentence is actually an excuse most of the time!

But in 1999, this is indeed a real problem.

The battery capacity these days is small and not very durable. A fully charged battery can basically last a day.

For people like Chen Li who have a lot of phone calls, it doesn’t even last a day.

Moreover, the battery technology these days is also relatively poor, and the battery life is also relatively short.

Chen Li's mobile phone was given to him by Deng Weimin last year, but this year the battery of the mobile phone is not durable.

Usually when Chen Li goes out to do something, he usually carries one or two extra batteries with him. Although this kind of behavior is actually somewhat unsafe, almost everyone in business these days does this!

It's just that Chen Li recently left the matter of ideal fried chicken to Xiao Zhang, so Chen Li is relatively relaxed.

Ordinary matters don't require Chen Li to come forward at all. At most, just some communication on the phone.

Chen Li went to deliver food to Liu Qingqing before, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaoyun to come to his door at this time. This was really a coincidence.

In order to prove that what he said was not a lie, Chen Li also took out his Siemens mobile phone that had automatically shut down due to low battery.

"Mr. Chen, it's time for you to change your mobile phone. The battery of this mobile phone is really not durable."

Ma Xiaoyun looked at Chen Li's Siemens and didn't know what to say.

This was not the first time that he could not find Chen Li. If his employees did this, even if Ma Xiaoyun was a good talker, he would probably have to scold him a few times.

After all, when something happens, it’s very frustrating when you can’t find anyone!

But this person happened to be Chen Li~ What else could Ma Xiaoyun say? He couldn’t say anything!

"Okay~ I'll go take a look when I have time!"

Chen Li touched his chin and nodded!

This Siemens mobile phone is actually only average.

If Chen Li had spent his own money to buy it, he would definitely not choose Siemens. Both Motorola and Nokia are better than Siemens.

But this mobile phone was originally given by Deng Weimin. In addition, the cost of mobile phones is relatively high these days, so Chen Li never changed it.

It's not that Chen Li is stingy and reluctant to spend money to buy a mobile phone. Although mobile phones are relatively expensive these days, Chen Li's income is totally fine.

Just as a reborn person, Chen Li is actually not very satisfied with the mobile phones these days.

Originally, Chen Li planned to wait for Nokia's Magic 3310 next year, but looking at the current situation, this Siemens model can no longer meet Chen Li's needs.

It’s not that Chen Li’s Siemens mobile phone can no longer be used, but that Chen Li makes too many calls every day, and this Siemens phone is obviously no longer suitable for Chen Li.

But it doesn’t matter. With Chen Li’s current net worth, there is really no need to think too much about changing a mobile phone.

Even though Chen Li's personal property is actually very limited now, he can still afford a mobile phone.

As for the Siemens that was replaced, it can be used by Liu Qingqing.

Chen Li had always said that he wanted to buy a mobile phone for Miss Liu, but the girl had always refused because the price was too expensive.

Now it’s time to change a mobile phone~ Liu Qingqing naturally has no reason to refuse~ After all, you can’t throw such an expensive thing in the cupboard to gather dust, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Li suddenly felt that it was imperative to change his mobile phone.

However, changing the mobile phone is something that will happen later. What needs to be dealt with now is why did Ma Xiaoyun come to find him?

"What's going on~ You're so impatient?"

"There's something wrong with the security guard?"

Recently, Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. has added a new department.

In addition to the original Zhou Hongyi's "No matter 3721 Project", there is another "Red Pony Safety Guard" project.

This new project is personally directed by Ma Xiaoyun, who is responsible for handling the operation of "Red Pony Security Guard".

For this reason~ Ma Xiaoyun has been "pestering" Chen Li in the past few days!

So subconsciously, Chen Li thought there was something wrong with the security guard.

Although this security guard produced by the system and modified by Xiaomeng itself should have no problems, as the future operator of this software, Ma Xiaoyun and the programmers he accepted must understand this security guard.

"No~no~no!"

“The security guards are quite reliable~ We haven’t found any loopholes so far!”

"The company expects to officially launch the security guard on June 1, and the prospects should be very good!"

"Because of its outstanding performance before, "Red Pony Safety Guard" has been praised by many professionals in the industry."

"Although it has not been officially launched yet, we have already received some orders."

"I plan to carry out some publicity on the security guards in the remaining half a month."

"When it goes online~ I guess I will hand in a satisfactory answer!"

Ma Xiaoyun's face was filled with a confident smile~ This confidence comes from the powerful functions of this system-modified "Red Pony Security Guard" itself.

Especially in this era where Trojans and viruses are rampant~ "Red Pony Security Guard" will definitely be the first choice of many people.

It is worth mentioning that the route taken by "Red Pony Safety Guard" is different from the Qishion 350 in the hands of Zhou Hongyi in the previous life.

Zhou Hongyi in the previous life ~ Although he developed the Qishion 350 Security Guard, he entered the industry a little late!

When Zhou Hongyi left Yahu and started her own business again to build 350, the domestic network security industry had been almost divided up by Luckin Yinshan and other companies.

At that time, if Zhou Hongyi wanted to seize the opportunity in the hands of these established software companies, she would have to resort to ruthless tactics.

So at that time, Zhou Hongyi directly used a killing move!

free!

Many domestic friends born in the 1990s and even the 2000s may not know that anti-virus software in the past was actually paid.

Not only does it charge a fee, but it’s also not cheap!

After all, in the early days, computer and Internet users were not ordinary people.

At that time, anti-virus software's main customers were actually companies that owned and used computers for work.

It was not until personal computers became more popular that anti-virus software began to open up new markets for these individual users.

It wasn't until the Qishion 350 came out that I directly launched a free security software.

Not only did it quickly seize a large amount of industry market share, it also knocked several domestic software giants into confusion.

Later, many people said that Zhou Hongyi was the father of rogue software~ This is indeed true. After all, since this guy made a bundled installation, this trick almost made those users miserable.

But in fact, almost no software industry on the market at that time did not do this.

Not only Lao Zhou’s 3721 is doing this, but almost all other Internet companies are doing this!

To put it bluntly, Comrade Zhou actually took a big blame.

But he is not unjust in taking the blame!

There is no way~ Who asked his 3721 to do this first and make such a big noise?

Let’s talk about the matter~Zhou Hongyi is indeed not unjust~but she did help other software companies bear a lot of responsibility.

This is not to develop for Zhou Hongyi~ but the Internet environment at that time was like that, and everyone did everything they could to compete for market share.

It's just that the existence of Zhou Hongyi has covered up the small actions that many other people or companies in the industry have done in private.

Later, Zhou Hongyi got involved in the Internet security industry and made a big move. Chen Li estimated that this move was not only because Zhou Hongyi wanted to seize market share, but also that there might be some personal grudges involved.

After all, looking at it from Zhou Hongyi’s perspective, everyone obviously did it, but why was he the only one who got scolded?

This is not fair!

In addition, Zhou Hongyi has a bad temper and always likes to butt heads with others, so reporters always like to find him.

Because it’s interesting to interview Zhou Hongyi!

The more times it is exposed, the more common people will know about this guy.

Over time, the pot on his body was basically firmly carried on his back!

Okay~ This is just Chen Li's own guess, what is the specific reason? It is impossible for Chen Li to verify it now.

However, there was an idle article on the Internet later that said that during the time when security software was charging, computer viruses and Trojan horses were rampant.

But when security software became free, those computer viruses and Trojan horses disappeared.

At that time, some people said that it was because people who used to make viruses and Trojans later changed their careers to become security guards!

This piece of gossip spread widely on the Internet, and many people even believed it.

But actually this is quite nonsense.

What is the actual meaning you want to express in this piece?

To put it bluntly, what these people mean is the computer viruses and Trojans that were rampant on the Internet in the past. They are the early development teams of Internet security software.

This is a conspiracy theory~ It means that the development teams of security software have developed countless computer viruses and Trojan horses in order to get customers to pay for their products.

If users want to avoid being invaded by computer viruses and Trojan horses, then the best way is to spend money on security software.

As for why security software is free and computer viruses and Trojan horses disappear?

Their explanation is that security software no longer makes money, so there is no need to deal with computer viruses and Trojans.

Later, some people even connected this article with Zhou Hongyi, saying that the people who were engaged in viruses and Trojans in the early days later went to engage in security guards.

This sentence actually refers to Zhou Hongyi.

This is a bit far-fetched~ Even if it's Zhang Guanli Dai, Zhou Hongyi happened to enter the Internet security industry~ In addition, his reputation is not very good~ So if anything happens, just blame him directly.

To be fair, this is actually quite nonsense, because in the era when computer viruses and Trojans were most prevalent, Zhou Hongyi had never been involved in the Internet security industry.

Before doing 3721, Zhou Hongyi was in Yuanzheng Group Company, and even 3721, which was known as "rogue software", was not considered a computer virus at the time!

Yes~ Even though the bundled installation method of 3721 is disgusting~ this thing is not a computer virus.

Although the characteristics of 3721 are no different from computer viruses in some aspects, people at the time still regarded 3721 as normal software, just some rogues.

Before the emergence of 3721, that is, when Zhou Hongyi was still working at Yuanzheng, computer viruses and Trojans had already begun to spread on the Internet.

If we follow the saying on the Internet in later generations, these viruses and Trojans should be the work of domestic software companies at that time.

But is this really the case? Of course not!

In fact, as long as you understand it a little bit, you will understand that computer viruses did not actually exist later, but they just became more secretive.

Moreover, the so-called decrease in computer viruses and Trojan horses is not because those software companies did not make money, so they stopped doing it, but because netizens have a deeper understanding of computers and the Internet.

In the early years of the beginning of the century, everyone had just come into contact with computers and the Internet. They didn’t understand anything and wanted to click on everything they saw.

Especially some websites also like to hang some "tempting" pictures on them. This was not an ordinary temptation for netizens who had just come into contact with the Internet at that time.

And when everyone clicks in after being tempted, your computer will naturally be infected with computer viruses and Trojans.

At that time, many users had very limited knowledge of computer security.

In the previous life, Chen Li had a cousin. He once told Chen Li that his computer was stuck and always crashed with a blue screen.

But his computer had just been installed not long ago, so Chen Li's cousin was very angry and planned to go to the person who sold the computer to cause trouble.

Later, Chen Li took a look at it through remote control and found that he looked spartan.

Chen Li's cousin doesn't know anything about computers at all. Let's talk about the simplest thing. Chen Li's cousin downloads anything and puts it in the C drive.

Anything here actually includes computer viruses and Trojan horses.

Yes~ Chen Li's cousin runs a store and sometimes likes to go to some small websites to watch TV movies.

Although most of the time, he watches serious movies and TV series, but sometimes, he may "accidentally" click on certain websites.

The most important thing is that the anti-virus software on his computer has obviously alerted the police, but Chen Li’s cousin doesn’t know how to operate it.

Later, Chen Li helped to check and kill that guy. Chen Li couldn't remember the specific number, but it was definitely over 100.

And it was after that one crackdown that Chen Li’s cousin learned to behave, and he basically wouldn’t click on some small websites.

Cousin Chen Li's situation is actually a microcosm of those early computer users.

But in the later period, after everyone had a certain understanding of computers and the Internet, the spread of computer viruses and Trojans was naturally eliminated by many people.

Although we occasionally encounter some computer viruses and Trojans due to "accidental" reasons, the number and danger are far worse than before!

Coupled with the subsequent improvements in security software and computer systems, the living space for computer viruses and Trojans is getting smaller and smaller.

This is why everyone feels that after anti-virus software became free, there were fewer computer viruses and Trojans on the Internet.

In short, this conspiracy theory is absolutely untenable.
