What is rogue software? !
Rogue software refers to software with certain practical value but some characteristics of computer virus and hacker software; It is in the gray area between genuine software and computer virus, and it also greatly infringes on the rights and interests of computer users. The majority of netizens have been suffering from it and hate it. Not long ago, Beijing Network Industry Association launched a survey on rogue software networks, and a large number of netizens actively participated. The list of 10 rogue software was published on July1. The specific list is as follows: For the above rogue software, their biggest feature is mandatory installation. I believe that at least one of them is or has been forcibly installed on the computer of netizens. These rogue softwares have their own characteristics besides some features of * * *. Let's see how they play hooligans and remind you to pay more attention at ordinary times. First, the target of public criticism-37213721Internet assistant, address bar search, and online real name can be described as old rogue software with the most problems, and it is also the most reviled by netizens on the Internet, ranking first naturally. When I often surf the Internet in high spirits, my computer suddenly slows down like a snail. Nine times out of ten, the installation dialog box of 372 1 pops up. He often sneaks into the computer unconsciously, adds buttons and IE toolbars that users don't need, adds illegal content in address menu items, and modifies registry settings to start automatically. In addition, it is often integrated into the installation programs of other gadget software, especially those Chinese software and cracking software downloaded from the Internet. Inadvertently, it quietly implanted in your computer. Even worse, it will interfere with the operation of other software and cannot be completely uninstalled. When using its "diagnosis" function, the author requires to uninstall other companies' software before using it. It is undeniable that the online assistant of 372 1 does have good functions, especially for beginners, but its incorrect promotion method makes its effect counterproductive, which has been pointed out by millions of netizens! Second, advertisements are flying all over the sky-Taobao is not software, but its ubiquitous advertisements have seriously affected the normal internet access of netizens, so it was pulled out and ranked second. The eyes of the masses are really discerning! Although there are places that burn money, there are also websites that put codes to make their advertisements pervasive, but we should also consider the feelings of netizens! Others surf the internet well, and suddenly a huge advertisement pops up, which seriously affects the normal browsing of netizens, and of course it will make netizens unhappy! It is natural for merchants to advertise for * * *, but they can't do whatever they want. Netizens are customers, so how much face do they have to give God? Third, don't be outdone-eBay's competitor Taobao ranks second, and Yi Bei-backed Yi Bei is certainly not to be outdone, followed by third! Although behind Taobao, hooliganism is not worse than Taobao. Yi Bei's hooliganism is similar to 372 1. It will forcibly install its "Yi Bei Toolbar", hijack the browser (automatically add buttons, menus or toolbars in ie, as shown in Figure 2), and it cannot be uninstalled. Fourth, different-the reason why the Dudu download accelerator is different is because some of its rogue behaviors are different from those of conventional rogue software, and compared with the above, the author thinks it is worse. It induces users to install advertising programs through false advertisements, and its so-called "browsing (downloading) speed is five times faster", and many netizens have little effect. More serious than false advertising, it also forcibly changed the download interface of IE (Figure 3). When I downloaded some small software, I downloaded it directly with IE, but it was changed by the Dudu download accelerator, which seriously affected my usage habits. In the way of communication, Dudu download accelerator also adopts a special way, by bundling other * * * software and secretly installing it without the user's permission. The author thinks that it is very shameful to download the accelerator and accept other * * * software bundles without reminding users whether to install it or not! Five, affect the Internet-Chinese Internet access and 372 1, Chinese Internet access is also a frequent visitor who often pops up the installation dialog box when browsing the web. It is really shameful to engage in such activities with such a resounding name as "China Internet Information Center". It is not only mandatory installation, but also impossible to completely uninstall. Many netizens have such software. After being forced to install Chinese internet access, the first-level domain name can still be used normally. However, if you enter a second-level domain name, such as soft.yesky.com, the page will often go to the keyword universal URL's own search results page. The promotion of Chinese websites is a good thing, but if it is really a good thing, netizens will naturally choose it. Why force it? As an Internet administrator in China, CNNIC participates in business and generates income at will, which seems to run counter to the modern enterprise system of separating government from enterprise, which is strongly advocated now! The practice of seeking benefits with management power will always be spurned! Sixth, the name doesn't change-I don't know when it started, and green entertainment software often adds a "green entertainment" to the start menu that I haven't heard of. According to the author's observation, other * * * software is often bundled and forcibly installed. This behavior is as shameful as the DuDu download accelerator and useless to the author! Seven, ulterior motives-great little secretary, you may not be familiar with this software, its rogue is mandatory installation, can not be completely installed. The great little secretary provides search, using email, downloading music, movies, making friends, games, practical news and so on; At the same time, the big secretary attracts users to participate in behavioral interaction and sends enterprise product advertisements according to users' online behaviors and preferences. This is actually what worries me most. It is not only a rogue software, but also suspected of spyware. It seems that you should pay attention to privacy when using this software. Two: There are more and more malicious software on the Internet (unsolicited, malicious and unpopular software). Recently, the network industry association has rated the top ten rogue softwares, most of which are characterized by mandatory installation and difficult uninstallation. This software (formerly known as rogue software cleaning assistant) is written for this situation. At present, the software can clean up the following malicious software: 1, 360 search 2, 372 1 internet assistant 3, Baidu search 4, Cai Bo webpage extract 5, MMS 6, CNIC Chinese website 7, Dudu download accelerator 8, Duoduo QQ emoticon 9, Yi Bei toolbar 10, Datong1655. Great little secretary 12, stroke search 13, online pig 14, sogou 15, search pop-up window advertisement 16, world search 17, U88 Fortune Express toolbar/kloc-7.
