It was surprised that China was invaded by viruses in only a week time and causes up to 1 million computers to break down and this is a very serious problem. Therefore I start doing some research what was the reason behind.
One of the reasons behind was during the National Day Holiday Week, most people in love to stay at home and serve the internet rather than go hang out on the crowded streets. Where anti-virus expert Jiangmin Co. stats that virus can be pass through by surfing the net, online shopping and even playing online games. Resulted around 118,000 computers crashed on a single day and up to 24,000 types of viruses were detected during the week.
Another reason of this tragedy is due to high unauthorized downloading of films, music and photos of celebrities. As one of the example happen in China on November 20, 2007 was viruses that replacing that appear to be copies of the film Lust, Caution by Ang Lee. Users instead of download the movie, it reflect to be bunch of viruses that invade the computer by causing blue screen to appear and even stealing passwords for website and instant messaging programs ( Infoworld.com ).
As a result, I realize taking a precaution on infection to the computer is one important thing. The lesson learn from the blog was DOWNLOAD LESS unauthorized files where most of the people do now, or otherwise be ready to take any circumstances which will be faced after download the files.
The second lesson is to choose a good anti virus and do not be lazy to update the anti-virus all the time because viruses is increasing everyday and causes your anti-virus to be outdated even in one day. Some good anti-virus software I encounter is:
