Dominate South Asia

At the same time, the host of the computer was also suffering from cruel torture.

The CPU of the computer, that is, the brain of the host, has entered the Pentium era at this time. In order to give users better performance, this CPU can be overclocked. For example, the famous Celeron 300A in later generations has been overclocked to 450 by enthusiasts, and even more overclocked to 600. At the same time, there are also players who fail. The Celeron 300 was overclocked too much and the heat dissipation could not keep up, resulting in a big hole in the core. This phenomenon is also common.

Overclocking and overclocking make low-end CPUs have high-end performance, which means spending less money and doing more things. At this time, this kind of DIY has gradually become popular all over the world.

Therefore, Kevin's virus will certainly not miss this opportunity. As long as it enters the host, it will analyze the CPU model of the host, and then set a higher overclocking index.

For example, the computer of old John now has a 486 CPU, which originally had a multiplier of 2 and an external frequency of 50MHZ. But now, the virus suddenly broke out and immediately changed the external frequency and multiplier of the CPU in the BIOS, setting the multiplier to 4 and the external frequency to 100. At the same time, in order to make the CPU hang up as soon as possible, the voltage of the CPU was also increased to accelerate the internal heating.

Even the highest-end 486 has a multiplier of only 3! Now the multiplier has become twice as much as before, and the total performance has become four times as much as before, which, of course, comes with a huge amount of heat!

Poor 486, there is no cooling fan at all, so after only five seconds, it immediately smoked. The ceramic shell outside also cracked with the smoke.

However, even the Pentium CPU with a fan can't do anything, because the virus will send instructions to the fan to stop the fan.

If the damage only stops here, then the computer can still run again with a new CPU, which is of course impossible. The main purpose of this virus. Is to completely destroy the computer!

The most important thing about destroying a computer is to destroy the data stored in the computer!

At this time, computers have begun to use hard disks as the main storage device, and the capacity is generally below 2G. Although it is not enough for a USB flash drive in later generations, it can already store a lot of data.

The hard disk uses the principle of magnetic materials to store data, and distinguishes 0 and 1 based on N and S. The core component of the hard disk is the disk. In the vacuum-sealed hard disk, the disk rotates at high speed, and the head moves back and forth. Find the location of the required data. Among them, the most important is track 0, where the master boot program and partition table information of the hard disk are stored. Generally speaking, as long as track 0 is damaged, it means that the disk is scrapped.

Now, when the virus begins to attack, the program that damages the disk also starts to start quickly. This program is very simple. Just start from track 0 and perform a low-level formatting program!

Low-level formatting is a damaging operation on the hard disk, and the result of low-level formatting of track 0 now is that all data is lost!

Not just track 0, track 1, track 2... in order. The program began to run quickly.

Low-level formatting is a thorough cleaning of the hard disk. Even if you open the disk in a dust-free environment and perform hardware-level recovery again, you cannot find the data from it!

Of course, it is not limited to these. If the computer has an optical drive, the laser head of the optical drive is working at full power at this time, and the frequency of the graphics card is also increased...

"Damn, virus attack!" Unlike the slow-witted old John, when the computer screen was gray, the personnel in the Pentagon quickly found the problem. The computer must have been infected with a virus!

However, although they knew the problem, these personnel handled it differently. Most people subconsciously unplugged the network cable. After all, most viruses are spread through the Internet. It is also possible that at the moment of the virus attack, their confidential data is being stolen.

In this way, they missed the opportunity. When the smell of burning came out of the chassis, they realized that the problem was serious. These viruses can actually destroy the hardware of the computer!

This day is simply a disaster anniversary for computer users across the United States. On this day, more than 60% of the computers in the United States were hung up at the moment of the virus attack.

Those users who are quick to react can also unplug the power plug to avoid the bad luck of chip burning. To remove the virus, high-level formatting alone is not enough, and low-level formatting is required to re-format the hard disk data area.

But all user data on the hard disk will be lost!

They are still lucky. Those users who are slow to react smell the burning smell of the computer motherboard. They stare blankly at the computer speed suddenly becoming unusually fast, and then within one or two seconds, the computer screen returns to black.

Companies that are taking orders and negotiating business; shareholders who are sending sales contracts; research units that are processing data; company directors who are processing important documents...

Millions of unprepared computer users suffered a catastrophe at this moment.

Some companies, factories, and departments that rely heavily on computers have fallen into a state of complete paralysis and panic.

All information was urgently submitted to various departments in the United States.

A large number of computers in the White House, FBI, and Pentagon are down, and they have to face a steady stream of damage reports. Countless computer experts are urgently investigating what virus caused this unprecedented disaster.

President Bush Sr., known as the old Texas cowboy, was at the peak of his anger.

Who dares to mess with the American emperor?

At this time, news of the virus outbreak in the United States spread throughout the world via radio waves. Europe urgently disconnected from the Internet in the United States, and Asia disconnected from the Internet in the United States. Canada, Mexico and other countries surrounding the United States are also facing the attack of computer viruses. I don't know why.

An hour after the virus broke out, anti-virus programs claiming to specifically target this virus suddenly appeared on various websites in the United States.

Frightened American computer users downloaded and installed it one after another. Within ten minutes, there were millions of downloads, a bigger hit than in the past week.

However, this is just another virus.

Countless users who were deceived were dumbfounded when faced with the virus that was downloaded immediately and struck immediately.

Hundreds of thousands of computer users were killed by the virus destroyers who responded by turning a large number of computers into scrap!

It took the United States several weeks to completely control and eliminate the virus.

After taking stock of the losses, everyone couldn't help but vomit blood: direct economic losses were nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, indirect economic losses exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars, and the potential losses were immeasurable!

President Cowboy was furious on TV, with the greatest support since his election, and vowed to retaliate at all costs.

Uncle Sam is angry, and his thunderous fury cannot be contained!

"Bang!" Bush Sr. slammed his hand on the table and said to the CIA director in front of him: "William, is this the conclusion of your investigation?"

Logically speaking, the FBI should be responsible for domestic matters like this. However, since the president suspects that this matter has something to do with the Soviets, and Iraq is at the vanguard, such matters involving foreign affairs should still be handled by the FBI. handed over to the CIA.

Now, the CIA acted very quickly. In just one week, the investigation results came out, but the results were not satisfactory to him.

"We have not discovered this virus abroad. It started spreading in our country." CIA Director William looked at the furious president and continued: "We suspect that there is a small group of computer masters, yes, just like the former Keith They are carrying out cyber attacks on us, and they may still be in our country.”

Kevin used to be a computer expert who broke into the Pentagon and the network system of the North American Command. He has been unknown in recent years, but now the sudden virus pandemic in the United States reminds William of his past. Only a master of this level can create such a virus, right?

"Okay, even if this is the case, organize people immediately to find these hackers and bring them to justice!" Bush said: "Leave this matter to the FBI, we must do it quickly! We must do it quickly!" The citizens need an explanation!”

Who would have thought that just the paralysis of the Internet and computers across the United States would have such a significant impact? It can actually affect the U.S. economy! Due to computer damage in the aviation system, flights were grounded across the United States for three days! Part of the data stored in the stock exchange's computer system was also damaged. Many companies' assets had to be re-evaluated, and investors who held stocks were also anxious.

At this time, the government must use strong means to stabilize the financial order!

"Mr. President, Pakistan sent news that some computers in our government departments were damaged, and they are willing to provide us with 200 computers for free," Secretary of State Baker said.

At this time, Pakistan still knows how to provide help in times of need! Two hundred computers are not many, but due to a large number of computers being damaged, the price of computers on the market has skyrocketed, tripling the previous price! The increase in the government's fiscal deficit has made the government hesitate to purchase computers for a long time. These computers sent by Pakistan are extremely precious.

A few years ago, Pakistan reached an agreement with AMD and began to establish a wafer factory in Pakistan to produce CPU and other components. At the same time, Pakistan also started its own chip design. Now, Pakistan can fully synchronize the production of the latest Am486 CPU. These computers are all products equipped with this CPU.

Pakistan? Upon hearing this, Bush was stunned. (To be continued ~^~)
