In the early days, everyone used pirated CDs. Some CDs do contain viruses, but they are not that serious. Because most of our computers are not connected to the internet, most of the games in the CD are stand-alone games. After the virus attack, it will only cause you a little trouble at most, and the problem is not big. At that time, many people had the habit of reinstalling the system, and nothing happened, just to get rid of some viruses and garbage. For security companies, it is hoped that the more hackers and virus makers there are, the better. Otherwise, what do they kill and whose money do they make? However, it is useless to wait and hope. Aspiring security companies will not sit still and wait for users to make up their own security awareness and come to you to buy antivirus software. Their enterprising road is a trilogy, spreading security panic through the media, taking anti-virus software as a necessity through marketing channels, making their own viruses and killing themselves.

At that time, TV news often issued early warnings of large-scale virus outbreaks, such as CIH and Weijin, which made everyone panic, and the strange feeling that a virus was a big problem gradually spread among the public. People who have never seen what a virus attack looks like will always pay attention to computer security. Even bugs in the operating system or problems caused by improper operation will be blamed on viruses. Compared with the free TV promotion at that time, the current security companies have to pay for advertising and can't get on TV, which is too low. Have you found that the virus outbreaks in the news have basically disappeared in recent years? Television is not stupid.

In fact, most of the early viruses were mild and basically harmless. Viruses that can destroy things like CIH are very rare. I have seen a virus. When the explosion occurs, a small train will appear on the screen, and it will end when it rumbles by, and then the computer will return to normal, which has no effect on the data. This virus is more like a little game to some extent, even more harmless than those tricks. At that time, people's computers really had nothing to steal, and not many virus developers would target innocent people without profit.

Users don't know much about computers, but their safety awareness is very advanced, which has to be said to be the result of popularizing brainwashing under the collusion channel of security companies. The interests of security companies and channels are the same, and some manufacturers even give more than half of the selling price to channels, which means that the product channel with 100 yuan can at least get 50 yuan. This is not selling anti-virus software to security vendors, it is simply selling it to yourself. There is no reason why the channel should not desperately sell those useless antivirus software so that every computer can install it.

In the computer security broadcast of TV news, whenever it is reported that a formidable computer virus is about to break out, there will always be a security company that will take the lead in developing a patch or a special killing tool for this virus. The speed is so fast that even before you see what this virus looks like, people's antidote comes out. Before you get sick, the medicine for treating the disease will be sold; You haven't eaten yet, the fried rice with eggs is ready. The reason why it can be done so quickly is generally attributed to superb technology and superb craftsmanship. However, people in this industry should know that the person who can cook your meal well before you want to eat is either your troubled mother or a worm in your stomach; The person who can quickly make an antidote for a new poison without going through all the trouble to open the treasure chest is either a god or the inventor of the poison.

It is almost a well-known secret that security companies are virus makers. This statement has not been fully proved once, but it is the case. The twists and turns are that the security company has recruited top technical experts, many of whom are hidden in the folk gods, and the general investigation methods simply don't work for them. With the current technical situation of the Internet, even DDOS attacks can't be solved, so the front can't basically break through this technical barrier. Now it is a society ruled by law, and everything is based on evidence. People hide evidence in billions of addresses on a huge network. You can't catch people by catching shadows, so there's no need to convict. Therefore, the cost of self-made drugs is quite low, but the effect is excellent.

The securities market is formed under the impetus of this kind of deception. Nowadays, the internet penetration rate is very high. Everyone buys things online, pays through online bank transfer, and peer-to-peer privacy theft and hacking incidents increase. Nobody dares to say that safety is not important. But you should know that the history before the formation of the securities market is disgraceful. And making viruses to kill their own evil has never been punished, and it has become a crime that nature is exempt from investigation.
