The video of Chen Mu's performance was quickly posted on the campus network of Yan University by the students, causing a huge uproar. However, the campus network of Yan University was a small local area network connected to more than 10,000 computers at most. At this moment, the Internet in the country was undergoing a huge test.
Not long after the incident with the black screen, the company dropped a second bombshell on China and the Asian Internet. From now on, all updates and patches from MicrosoftSoft would be embedded with a very advanced anti-cracking core. All users of pirated Microsoft-operated systems would not have the right to install it. The computers that used pirated systems would lose all opportunities to update loopholes and patches. This meant that from now on, all pirated users would face a huge security test.
The internet quickly became a hot topic, and it soon turned into a one-sided war of words. The Chinese hated this even more ruthless move of Microsoft.It was not only because of the absolute monopoly of Microsoft.It was also because of its unyielding attitude. Moreover, the price of the same operating system in China was ridiculously high, which made the Chinese extremely angry. The price of the same operating system in China was almost twice as high as the price in Europe and America. This was clearly trying to rob the Chinese of their wealth. It was not surprising for a computer. However, there were hundreds of millions of computers in the country. With this, the total amount was very frightening.
However, the war of words on the Internet was only the prologue. People didn't know what conspiracy the world's largest software company had against Chinese users.
…
Many experienced seniors would preach to their juniors, telling them that they would be in the fourth year of high school, especially in a key university like Yan University. The task of the first year was to study. The places you should go every day were the dormitory, classroom, cafeteria, self-study room, and library. Only by studying wholeheartedly could you gain a foothold in school and even get an official position in the student union. As for flirting with girls and skipping classes, you could wait until you were in the second year.
After sending off a senior who came to the dormitory and nagged endlessly, Zhang Chen curled his lips and said,"Actually, these experienced seniors are bullsh * t. Every autumn, they would wait for the freshmen to report to school. Then, they would use their wolf eyes to sweep past these girls who had just entered the campus and were still ignorant. Once they found a suitable partner, they would immediately make a move. They were afraid that the freshmen would get the advantage first, so they came to deceive us.”
Qin Hu recalled his senior's earnest advice and said with a smile,""No one told you to listen to them. There are many beautiful girls in the first year of university. You can just do whatever you want.”
Zhang Chen shook his head and said mysteriously,"I'm not planning to think about freshmen. When I accompanied Chen Mu to the auditorium for the preliminary exam today, I took a fancy to a senior who seems to be from the performance committee.”
"You have ambition." Li Xiaofeng gave Qin Hu a thumbs up and praised,"I admire you for wanting to fight for food with the seniors when you just entered the school.”
Qin Hu smiled and said,""You guys continue to talk about beauties. I'll play the game for a while.”He turned on his desktop computer.
The remaining three people were chatting casually when Qin Hu suddenly cursed and blurted out,"My computer is infected with a virus!"
"Virus?" Chen Mu leaned over curiously and asked,""What happened?"
"Look…" Qin Hu moved his mouse. It was surprisingly slow, and even the pointer formed a shadow on the desktop. He finally opened the resource manager and realized that the CPU and memory usage had reached 100%.
Chen Mu frowned instinctively. Qin Hu was a gaming enthusiast, and he was most passionate about high-end standalone games. Therefore, he was very concerned about the hardware of the computer. The configuration of his personal computer was very luxurious. It was a high-end hardware configuration with water cooling and cooling. No one in the entire Yan University could compare to it. The two top-notch game graphics cards in the huge case could basically buy Chen Mu's laptop with a pseudo-high-end configuration. This computer could easily run the most demanding games on the market. Now that it had just entered the system, the computer was already running at an extremely high speed.
" What's going on…" Qin Hu looked at Chen Mu nervously and blurted out. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that talking to Chen Mu about computers was like playing the lute to a cow. He could only sigh and stare blankly at the screen.
Chen Mu patted his shoulder and said,""Shut down the computer first. Right now, all your hardware is running at a high load, which is very harmful to the machine.”
Qin Hu nodded without hesitation and forcefully turned off the computer's power. Just as he was wondering how Chen Mu could say those words, Chen Mu had already run to his desk and turned on his laptop.
Chen Mu's computer was not infected with a virus because he had asked his dear Xie Xiaobao to simplify and improve the windows7 system of his computer. Even Chen Mu could not find a loophole, so naturally, no virus could easily enter.
Qin Hu leaned over and said," Chen Mu, can you help me search on Baidu? The keywords are 'CPU usage rate is 100% after booting'."”
Chen Mu nodded and opened his browser. He entered the keywords Qin Hu mentioned on Baidu's website. Unexpectedly, there were more than 300,000 results. Most of the first few pages were posts asking for help. After checking seven or eight posts, they realized that everyone had the same symptoms as Qin Hu's computer. After turning it on, the machine would overload and they could not do anything.
Under Qin Hu's guidance, Chen Mu opened a well-known computer security website in China. There was a pinned post at the top of the forum. The full name of the post was: "Regarding the KT0937 patch and the AM001 virus, if you don't understand, please look here.”
“KT0937？”"Isn't this the patch for the windows system that was released by the high-profile company?" Qin Hu frowned in surprise. WinXP, Vista, and win7 all released the corresponding KT0937 patch. It was said to be an extremely important patch that could only be installed by legitimate users. Until now, no one had been able to crack it.”
Chen Mu clicked on the post, and the content of the post shocked the two of them.
" Hello, Chinese netizens. After the patch for KT0937 was released by Microsoftlast week, a very despicable computer virus appeared on the Internet. It is also the AM001 virus that has the greatest impact on Chinese computer users. It is said that this virus was designed and spread by the world-renowned hacker organization, Angel. However, until now, Angel has not made any statements.
The AM001 virus spread across the world within three days. It took advantage of a loophole in the Microsoft-based operating system. Once infected, the virus would cause the computer to operate at its peak at all times, taking up all the computer resources. Not only would the victim be unable to use the computer, but it would also damage the computer hardware. Unfortunately, no company or organization could develop a specific antidote for this virus. In other words, we were still helpless against this virus.
However, we found something very strange. Any computer that installed the patch KT0937 would not be affected by this virus. The patch comes with an extremely powerful anti-cracking core, which is extremely difficult to crack. So far, the victims of the nameless virus are almost all users of the pirated windows operating system.
" Based on this, we can infer that this is probably another round of attacks against pirated users after the black screen incident. Moreover, the methods used have already risen to the point of using all sorts of methods. We have reason to suspect that the culprit behind the AM001 virus outbreak is actually the main target of computer users in China. So far, nearly 10 million computers in China have been infected. The direct and indirect losses caused are incalculable. We strongly protest against the company and demand that it immediately stop the invasion of pirated computers!
At present, the only way to avoid being infected was to use the genuine windows system and install the KT0937 patch. For most laptop users, AM001 was not a big threat because most of the laptops on the domestic market were pre-installed with the genuine operating system of Microsoft.However, for most of the users who used pirated operating systems, the probability of being infected was very high. For those who were not infected, it was best to reduce their online time as much as possible in the short term and wait for the release of the special killer. For users who have been infected, it is best to shut down your computer before the launch of the special killer to minimize the damage of the virus to the hardware.
We have already consulted 360, Jinshan, Rising, and other well-known domestic companies. They have all set up a cracking team for the KT0937 patch and the AM001 virus. I believe that the software will be released soon. Please wait patiently."
The last thread of the post had already reached more than 300,000, and the number of views had also reached more than 20 million. Qin Hu could not help but curse,"What a bastard! How dare they use such a despicable method to force us to submit!”
Chen Mu smiled and said," There are at least hundreds of millions of computers installed with pirated windows systems in the country. This is a problem for Microsoft.However, their methods are really despicable. Even a fool can see that this has something to do with them, but there's nothing they can do.”
Qin Hu said angrily," I'm willing to spend money to buy a mouse that costs thousands of dollars, but I won't buy a thousand-dollar Microsoft-based system. If I buy it, I'll be surrendering to Microsoft-based systems. I don't believe that there are so many computer experts in the country who can't crack a virus!”
Chen Mu frowned and said,"" If this virus is really the work of the hacker organization called Angel, then they must have secretly reached an agreement with the company. There are so many loopholes and backdoors in the system. If you give them any one of them, they can create a targeted virus. They might be able to crack KT0937, but they might not be able to crack KT0938 and 0939.”
Chen Mu continued," A computer infected with this virus is basically impossible to remove unless you redo the system. After the computer is infected, it basically loses all its execution ability. Even if the special killer is released, you can't use the current state of the computer to install the special killer and remove the virus. The only thing you can do is to redo the system before installing it. It's very troublesome…The person who created this virus is really mean.”
