Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 245 Century Security Guard Released

In addition to Century Online Game Accelerator.

The second task was for Chen Hao to use the existing mechanism of Century Security Guard and combine it with the previous anti-cheat function to let Century Security develop a game security firmware.

Before launching a Century series online game, start this security firmware to quickly scan to see if there is any illegal software. If not, start the game normally. Otherwise, a prompt will pop up and the game startup process will be forcibly interrupted.

This firmware was named Youdun by Chen Hao.

The third task is also the most important one that Chen Hao emphasized. He first talked about the strategic position of the browser for the entire group, which is to develop a secure browser belonging to Century Network Shield.

Wu Hanqing looked a little serious, "Boss, do you want to build a shell under the existing browser kernel, or do you need to develop the kernel independently?"

"Independent research and development? If you can't afford it, let's carry out secondary development and encapsulate some of our own security technologies based on the existing kernel. In addition, you can compare the kernels of IE and Firefox to evaluate the pros and cons and stability."

"I understand. I'll do some research here before I can give you an answer."

As a technician, Chen Hao understands that the most important and difficult thing about a browser is its kernel, which is equivalent to the CPU of a computer and the chip of a mobile phone. Currently, only IE has its self-developed kernel trident and the Firefox browser just released in China at the beginning of the year. The kernel is gecko.

Therefore, he is more aware that the cost of manpower, capital, and time spent on the research and development of a kernel is extremely huge. Even if it costs billions, it may not necessarily make a difference. In front of him, the level of "World of Warcraft" is equivalent to that of a family. The small slope at the entrance is comparable to Everest.

Let them do the research first and wait until the conclusion is drawn.

Chen Hao said earnestly, "These three tasks are actually very important. What you are doing is a product that connects the previous and the next within the company. I leave such an important project to you!"

Generally, when faced with pressure and work beyond their own capabilities, most people tend to hesitate and look forward and backward. This is human nature.But there is a type of people who choose to face difficulties and constantly challenge and break through their own limits.Obviously Wu Hanqing belongs to the latter.

Originally, he thought that after completing the enterprise guard and security guard, all that was left was maintenance work, which was not challenging. Now three new projects have come, and each one is more difficult than the last. This makes him eager to try, and he quickly goes back to the coders to start working on it.

Wu Hanqing came out of the conference room and walked in the wind.

In the anti-virus software market in 2004, due to the high price of domestic and foreign anti-virus software, even domestic anti-virus software such as Rising, Jiangmin, and Kingsoft Antivirus were only available to new users for free for a few days to a week after installation.

Many netizens do not want to spend this money, which provides a breeding ground for Trojans and viruses to survive.

The rise of USB flash drives has also provided new ways for Trojans and viruses to spread. As soon as they are plugged in and unplugged, viruses are planted.

Various poisoning methods are emerging in the form of information with links in Xiaohuang sites and QQ, and emails with curious titles.

As long as netizens cannot resist the temptation, computers are not far away from being tricked.

Here I have to mention the power of foxmail mailboxes. With Wu Hanqing’s security support, foxmail has also carried out an iterative update. It will automatically mark emails containing spam as high risk. Cautionary reminders are very popular among users. favor.

Of course, everything is pirated in China, even anti-virus software.

However, after these people installed pirated anti-virus software, they found that the results were quite different from what they expected.

<divclass="contentadv">Not only cannot viruses be detected, but it can even cause a waste of system resources and cause the computer to become stuck. What's worse, pirated anti-virus software itself carries Trojans or viruses.

Computers infected with Trojans or viruses may have their QQ or game accounts stolen, or their online banking accounts may be leaked, system crashes, computer blue screens, or even the hardware may be directly overloaded, causing the computer hardware to fail and burn down.

The only advantage is that it supports a group of computer installation shops. It costs 30 yuan to reinstall a system, dozens of yuan to troubleshoot a hardware failure, and you can earn more by replacing hardware.

Internet cafe owners cannot afford such risks, so they can only reluctantly pay a large sum of "security protection fees" every year to buy genuine anti-virus software to protect their computers from viruses and Trojans.

in this context.

On May 5, Century Security Guard was launched.

The headlines were published on major portal websites, and the advertisements were overwhelming, focusing on a permanent free + honorary product of Century Network Shield.

The official website of Century Network Shield carries a slogan "Computer security, protected by Network Shield!"

In the upper right corner is a light blue Superman-like image, with a shield with the word "Century" on its chest.

World Travel Platform and YY also simultaneously updated the official website link of Century Security Guard.

With the high-profile promotion, especially when they saw the word "forever free", many people thought that it was from the same parent company, the game was free, and now even the anti-virus software was free.

Century Network Shield even issued a second announcement: It’s free, so it’s free to the end. In order to celebrate the launch of Century Security Guard, Enterprise Security Guard will also be free at the same time.

Nowadays, anti-virus software all charges annual fees. Domestic companies such as Rising Antivirus, Kingsoft Antivirus, and Jiangmin Antivirus, and foreign companies such as Kaspersky and Norton all charge annual fees to users.No matter how they innovate their products and sell them at low prices, anti-virus software companies ultimately rely on fees to make profits.

At a time when the major anti-virus and security software on the market are competing for market share, Century Security Guard and Enterprise Security Guard, produced by Century Network Shield, have barged in like gangsters and become disruptors.

Media related to the security field have carried out relevant reports. Never before has a company been so crazy. It has invested tens of millions or hundreds of millions in anti-virus software, but it is free for users. Other than crazy, these reporters can't think of a more appropriate word.

The media interviewed several other major manufacturers in the traditional security field. The thinking of the bosses of these traditional anti-virus manufacturers has long been fixed. Everyone has been doing this for so many years. Are you breaking the rules by doing it for free?He became the target of public criticism and died quickly?

These manufacturers have stated that they will not be free of charge, and at the same time, they all expressed their disdain for the security guards produced by Century Network Shield.

Jiang Min: You get what you pay for. Anti-virus software relies on anti-virus engines developed over many years. It cannot be shaken by some small manufacturers overnight.

Ruixing: Everything that is free is a gimmick. We want to attract public attention by free of charge. We admit that the other party has achieved its goal and will only charge after there is a certain market. This villain's pretentiousness is laughable.

Kaspersky: Kaspersky never cares about its opponents. In the end, it relies on software and word-of-mouth. The latest version of the virus library adds detection of nearly a thousand new viruses and fixes for dozens of vulnerabilities. It is expected to release a new version next month.

Kingsoft Antivirus: Just because Century Group’s games are good, it doesn’t mean that the security software can also be good. Every line is like a mountain. It’s too early to draw a conclusion now. Let the market speak for itself.
