Chapter 919: Infect 20 Million Computers Worldwide
"Strange, who changed my desktop icon?"
Early in the morning, Tom turned on the computer to prepare a file.
But, very strange, when he turned on the computer, he found that all the icons had become pandas.
By the way, the panda is still holding three incense sticks.
At first, Tang En thought it was his girlfriend's prank and ignored him.
Because he clicks on these icons, he can continue to use the program.
But when he finished the file and wanted to change these icons back to the original shortcut icons, Tang En found that he couldn't change them no matter what.
"Ask you guys, how to change the desktop icon back to the original one?"
Logging in to the instant messenger, Tang En asked everyone for help in a group.
After saying this, the group suddenly became enthusiastic.
"I mean, I want to ask this question too."
"Yes, yes, I also want to know. I have used dozens of methods, but the icon just can't be changed back to the original."
"Although these pandas are cute, the screen is full of pandas, which I don't really like."
"No, yours is also a panda icon?"
"Yes, yours too?"
"It's not..."
Everyone sent out screenshots of their desktops.
It turned out that all the netizens who wanted to change back to the original icon were all icons of pandas burning incense.
"Damn, why are our icons all the same?"
With a thud in his heart, Tang En felt that this was extraordinary.
You know, if it's a prank with a girlfriend, it's impossible to do the same with others.
Could it be that the prank of changing the panda icon has become popular recently?
This is of course impossible.
Since it is not possible.
Then, the reasonable explanation for the unanimous change of the icons of netizens into panda icons is that they are all infected with the virus.
"I mean, we won't get the virus, right?"
"It feels like it is."
"Ah, ah, I have to use anti-virus software to kill viruses."
Just a pity.
Although a series of netizens have installed anti-virus software on their computers, they can't kill the virus no matter how they are checked and killed.
The icons on the screen are all panda patterns.
Even the icon of antivirus software has become a panda burning incense.
The latest news: a new type of virus Panda burns incense appears in the windows system
Panda Burning Incense has now infected 1 million Windows computers around the world.
This is by far the fastest spreading computer virus in the world
Relative to the general public, the media also began to report on the virus of panda burning incense.
Relevant experts said that they hope that users will download the latest anti-virus software and virus database to take good security precautions.
Although this is said, the transmission speed of panda burning incense has not been attenuated, but has begun to accelerate.
At the beginning, it was exposed by the media that 1 million units were infected. Just that night, he infected 3 million units.
The next day, Panda Burning Incense raised that number to 7 million units.
"My grass, what kind of virus is this, so ferocious."
"I don't know, but this virus is too fierce, and I am also recruited."
"No, you are also infected with this virus."
"No, don't believe me, I'll send you a screenshot of my desktop for you to see."
then.
Thousands of screenshots of computer desktops infected by panda burning incense are uploaded to various places on the Internet like snowflakes.
How to say, virus is really impossible to prevent.
Although many people have listened to the opinions of experts and downloaded the latest virus database.
But they found that even downloading it was useless.
The hit is still hit.
"Everyone, tell you, it's better to surf the Internet less recently? If you want to, go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet."
"why?"
"That panda burning incense is too powerful. As long as you surf the Internet, there is a high probability of contracting the virus."
"Isn't there anti-virus software, what are you afraid of?"
"If antivirus software really works that way,
Do you think Panda Burning Incense can infect so many computers? You see, 10 million units have now been infected. "
"Nima, it was only 7 million yesterday."
"Tell you a gossip, don't tell anyone else."
"what news?"
"It is said that all the antivirus software companies in the world have no way to deal with this virus."
"I'm grass, isn't it?"
Although this is gossip, it is not to be believed.
However, for those users who have the virus database, they can't help but believe it.
if not.
So why is the virus database still being recruited?
...
"Steve, what happened to that panda burning incense?"
"Bill, don't worry, just listen to me."
"Can I be in a hurry? This virus has already infected 20 million computers. If I don't hurry, it will infect hundreds of millions of computers."
Forefoot Bill was extremely calm, but just a few days after leaving the company, a super virus broke out.
At that time, Bill felt that with Steve's ability and the strength of the world's major anti-virus software manufacturers, he could handle it completely.
But I didn't expect that this virus is so powerful that Microsoft and major antivirus software manufacturers seem to be powerless.
"Bill, at present this virus only maliciously changes the shortcut icon of the computer, and will not cause too much harm to the computer for the time being."
"I just want to know when this virus can be wiped out."
Bill naturally knew that the virus didn't seem to be very destructive.
At the same time, he also vaguely believed that the virus was created by Huanyu Technology.
But suspicion is one thing, evidence is another.
But now is not the time to doubt, the biggest problem now is to eliminate this virus.
If not.
Even if this virus has no destructive power, it has a huge impact on windows.
Especially now.
Huanyu Technology has used their friend network and Huanyu Video to attack windows in public opinion.
And, they also invited experts to analyze.
A group of experts believe that the reason why windows is threatened by such a super virus is actually related to their system security.
Windows has done a good job in the ecology, but it has always been their weakness in system security.
But conversely, the Huanyu system is different.
Huanyu system is a PC operating system developed based on linux, which surpasses windows in system security level.
This is of course nonsense, or advertising for Universal Systems.
But it's not nonsense, it doesn't matter, as long as it's useful.
Just like now, many people were still struggling with the fact that there were many viruses in the Universal System.
But compared to windows, a super virus panda burning incense, it is nothing short of nothing.
Because from the beginning to the end, only hundreds of thousands of Huanyu systems have been infected by a certain virus.
But on the Windows side, it has already broken 20 million.
Fortunately, the destructive power of this virus is not so strong.
Some experts predict that if the virus is a little more destructive, the global loss will reach tens of billions.
"Bill, listen to me, we have cooperated with major system security vendors around the world to conduct research on this virus."
"Is this virus so powerful?"
Steve smiled bitterly: "Bill, this is the first time we have encountered such a virus. This virus is different from traditional viruses, although its destructive power is not so strong, but it is deliberately done by the producer, he can completely make the system inoperable."
"and then?"
"His peculiarity lies in his terrifying spreading power. As long as a user is infected with this virus, he will automatically spread the waves to other Internet users. Besides, he also has the disgusting function of self-replication and kills him. It has become another one. Moreover, his copy is not a complete copy of an identical self, but a copy of another variant. This trick directly makes a lot of antivirus software have no way. Unless, we can figure out How many variants does he have... but it will take time. Our concern is that in the time it takes us to study all the variants of this one virus, the contagious strength of this virus could infect 50 million computers worldwide.”
Such a large level, even if this virus does not have any lethality, it is terrifying to think about.
And, who knows if this virus has always been like this.
If the time comes, a highly destructive variant will be a disaster for Windows.
