As the saying goes, one foot in mind that, at the same time, computer technology continues to develop, the types of malicious software has cropped up, according to the latest research report, the number of malware attacks over the past two years is the sum of the previous 10 years .
Located in a storefront Valencia Street in San Francisco is the city's fight against a computer virus software "power", which is a computer repair shop owner named Del Jaljaa.
Almost every day, Jaljaa repair shop will have 5-10 people holding a computer virus infected over, hope Jaljaa can help them make the computer to resume normal operation. In the past few years, involving computer software viruses Jaljaa class has accounted for one-third live maintenance operations. "Software viruses become the basis for our survival." Jaljaa representation.
Computer from virus infection frequency higher
viral infection originated from harmful software code, that is, we often hear of "malware", including computer viruses and worms. More malware makes it appear like maintenance experts Jaljaa busy working all day. According to the latest research report, the number of viruses found by AV-Test company appeared in 2014 soared 72% increase compared to 2013, reaching 140 million. The number of malware attacks over the past two years to find the equivalent of the previous 10 years combined.
Other malware monitoring company (such as security software maker Malwarebytes and Kaspersky) also found similar trends. Kaspersky researcher, said the number of mobile malware attacks in 2014 is four times 2013's.
Over the past few years, virus software, anti-virus software is based on blocking malicious software code. However, one foot in mind that: Hackers can purchase or free download malicious software code, and then slightly modified its done. Thus, the anti-virus software will not let malicious code easily found, and then you can wantonly spread.
"It's like copying someone else's homework, as simple as a word is removed in Microsoft Word document, or increase his words." Security software maker F-Secure, said researcher Timo Hirvonen. As a result, malicious software is constantly changing, it is difficult to cease.
However, the software security industry is to find a solution to this problem. One of the newest technology is the way to track the spread of the virus and its intentions. For example, for those who try to copy the software, users of online banking passwords, these technological tools can be traced to them so that files that are used to steal.
But even so, a security researcher said that their rhythm is often slow step. Escalating cat and mouse game has even extended to the field of cryptography. Hackers use a similar technology developed by the company's security software to avoid malware is found.
Since the malware off guard, are we going to abandon the use of them?
Computer maintenance point boss Jaljaa said want to make computer security, in fact, some people still do their own thing within its power, such as the user must install security antivirus software and other security tools, but note that you must make these software updates to the latest version.
If your computer has a virus, you get it working again, then we are looking for an expert like Jaljaa, but of course, have a pocket.
