Chapter 135 Rogue Software
"Forcibly clean up the rogue software!" Shen Lang said slowly.

Lin Yong's eyes brightened: "Mr. Shen, you mean to design a function to clean up rogue software?"

Shen Lang pointedly said: "Don't underestimate rogue software, their users are far more than you imagine."

The early days of the mainland Internet can be said to be a barren period when rogue software was rampant. Many plug-ins were parasitic on users' computers through various means, forcing users to use them.

For this, users naturally hate it deeply, but these rogue software are hidden so deeply that users who don't know computers can't find a way to uninstall them.

The most exaggerated one is 3721, which is also the first and largest rogue software in China. How exaggerated is 3721?In 2003, when there were only 8600 million PC users nationwide, the installed capacity of 3721 reached 7000 million. Except for Microsoft, I am afraid that there is no one with a higher installed capacity than 3721.

In fact, at the beginning, 3721 was just a plug-in embedded in the URL bar of the browser. Before Li Yanhong founded Baidu, there was no Chinese search engine service in the mainland. The function of 3721 was mainly to help users search without knowing the URL , enter Chinese, you can also jump, it is actually a very practical plug-in.

However, the founder of 3721 "Cardinal" is a very pure businessman. His purpose is to make money, so he began to add various bundled software to this plug-in, even a bundled Trojan horse, which made users hate it.

But no matter how much you hate it, it's useless. After the "cardinal" tasted the sweetness of bundling, it got worse and worse, and 3721 became more and more difficult to uninstall. Some users even had to restart the system in order to uninstall 3721. I installed the system, but after reinstalling the system, I was accidentally bound by 3721.

Not only that, but 3721 also made a very bad start. Other software companies saw that the more rogue 3721 was, the more prosperous their life was, and they began to imitate it. When many software companies recruited programmers, they even asked: Can you Design the software so that no one can uninstall it. If the programmer answers: Yes, his salary can even be doubled.

In such a big environment, many software companies that do their own business have no living environment, and the process of bad money driving out good money is very cruel.

However, as the public has gained a certain understanding of computers over the years, the hostility of ordinary users towards rogue software has accumulated to the point where it is about to explode. In this general environment, 3721 had to be sold to Yahoo and left with the money, which also led to the collapse of Yahoo's reputation in the mainland.

In Shen Lang's view, the function of cleaning up rogue software is even more important than antivirus, because these rogue software will blatantly parasitize on various official websites, as long as one is not careful, it is difficult to get rid of, and it is more disgusting than viruses.

Lin Yong patted his chest and said that it could be done in half a month, and the rogue software that is difficult for ordinary users to get rid of is actually not worth mentioning in the eyes of professionals.

Sure enough, half a month later, Lin Yong took out the redesigned Security Guard. Shen Lang clicked on it and found that it had changed a lot from the previous version.

The first is the display of the killing progress bar, so that users can see the progress of killing at a glance, and at the same time, it also gives users a psychological hint that the software is really efficient.

Shen Lang nodded in satisfaction, and then clicked on the newly added function of mandatory detection and killing of rogue software, the result. The result of the detection and killing was 0.
Thinking about it, how could Lin Yong's computer have those messy things.

For this reason, Shen Lang could only go to those small websites, but he didn't know if he didn't try it. He was startled when he tried it, and a bunch of bullet boxes popped up all at once, and the security guards also sent a series of warnings.

Shen Lang manually clicked to install. I have to say that the installation speed of these rogue software is really fast. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was no trace left. Shen Lang tried it, simply wanting to pass through the system software. Uninstall, these rogue software cannot be uninstalled at all.

Click on the browser, and look again, and sure enough, the plug-in bar of 3721 has been installed, which is worthy of being the top rogue software.

Shen Lang clicked on the security guard again, turned on the function of mandatory scanning and killing of rogue software, and clicked to scan and kill immediately.

Then I saw a series of red code alerts popping up one after another in the progress bar.

Lin Yong had a confident look throughout the whole process, obviously he had done experiments before.

In just 2 minutes of killing, more than a dozen types of various rogue software were uninstalled. Shen Lang smiled at Lin Yong in satisfaction.

"The effect is good. Can all rogue software be identified and cleaned? Will it be deleted by mistake?"

Lin Yong smiled: "As long as it is a rogue software that has appeared on the market, it can be identified. So far, there has been no accidental deletion, but some software has been installed in a parasitic and binding way, and it will also be cleaned up. "

"Then it's none of our business, we are only responsible to the users." Shen Lang waved his hands nonchalantly.

"Okay, you guys will test it after you go back. If there is no problem, prepare to release it. I will let all the project teams of the company cooperate with the publicity."

Lin Yong trotted excitedly, probably to convey the good news to the members of the project team.

Don't look at the guys from the Honker League who usually look aloof and arrogant, but in fact, these guys are sultry.

Sure enough, enthusiastic cheers came from the next door, which could be heard on the entire floor.

In order to cooperate with the release of 360 Security Guard, Shen Lang also spent a lot of money, spending 200 million to buy the homepage advertising space of the three major portals. Pop-up ads were set on the day of launch.

There is also a green banner advertisement in the most conspicuous place on the homepage of the Duowan game community, with the title: Say goodbye to rogue software and viruses, 360 security guards, 360° protection for your computer without dead ends.

On the 360 ​​search engine, as long as keywords such as antivirus, virus, and rogue software appear, the first result that pops up is 360 Security Guard.

At the same time, Shen Lang also hired people to post soft articles on community forums such as Tianya and Mopu. The beginning of the article was to accuse rogue software. After a similar experience, 360 security guards were finally brought out, saying that since using this software, they have never worried about rogue software and viruses.

Under such a strong publicity campaign, the download volume of 360 Security Guard exceeded [-] within the first hour of its launch.

Many users originally just downloaded with a protective mentality, but after checking and killing, they found that their computers were already riddled with holes, and various viruses and rogue software had already occupied their computers.

"Hey, I said such a good configuration, how can I play a game that freezes to death, so there are so many rogue software in the computer!"

"I finally know why my previous account is gone. I don't even know when there are so many Trojan horse viruses in the computer."
