The media said that Microsoft Windows 7 will bundle free anti-virus software, which shocked the domestic anti-virus software industry. The relevant person in charge of Microsoft has clarified the outside world, saying that this is a misunderstanding, Windows 7 will not bundle free anti-virus software, Microsoft will provide free download of anti-virus software. In response, some domestic anti-virus software vendors issued a boycott or disdain, but Microsoft quickly denied it. The problem is that Win7's anti-virus technology makes some people very anxious. What's the matter? Let's take a look at it together.
One, false alarm: Win7 bundled free anti-virus software?
This Monday, an eye-catching report came out first, said last week. At the Windows 7 RC (Candidate Release) Experience Exchange, Microsoft Global Vice President Mike Nash revealed for the first time that Microsoft's free anti-virus software Morro will be bundled in the official version of Windows 7.
However, that night, Microsoft denied it, saying it was a media false positive. Microsoft said that the word "bundle" did not appear on the day of the communication meeting. At that time, the vice president of Microsoft's product department just said, "We will be making an anti-virus only technology available for Windows 7 ” (we will target Windows 7 develops a new anti-virus technology). Therefore, Microsoft said that the communication meeting did not mention that Windows 7 will bundle anti-virus software.
Although Windows 7 will bundle free anti-virus software is "false start", but Microsoft will "develop a new anti-virus technology for Windows 7", or it will lead to many speculations and concerns.
Second, take the opportunity to speculate: Rising and Qihoo 360 are not idle
In the above Microsoft Window7 bundled with free anti-virus software, domestic anti-virus software vendors seem to be idle, or seem to be unable to sit still However, their attitude seems to be resisting Microsoft, but it seems to be disdainful, of course, not to forget to speculate about yourself.
The first is the domestic anti-virus software manufacturer Rising, Rising responded that Microsoft's anti-virus software Morro is only an anti-trojan tool, not anti-virus software, will not affect the domestic security market. This is to say that Microsoft Win7 anti-virus thing is similar to 360 guards, no special anti-virus software can not.
The movement of Qihoo 360 seems to be even bigger, and it has issued several official statements on the matter. The main meaning is that Microsoft's "should be expected", that free anti-virus software "is an unstoppable international trend". He also said that Microsoft's bundled free anti-virus software in Win7 will also encounter problems such as the resistance of traditional anti-virus software vendors. However, once Microsoft succeeds, it will have a great impact on the industry and will "rewrite" the global anti-virus market.
Although Microsoft has denied the fact that Win7 bundles free anti-virus software, it is not difficult to see that the specialized anti-virus software vendors are still quite contradictory, although the technology of Microsoft's free anti-virus may not play any role, it is a bit invisible. However, it also shows a certain degree of concern about Microsoft. After all, Microsoft is still a terrible opponent.
Three, users delusion? The best Win7 immunity is strong
In fact, for users, the most hope is that Windows7 itself is better to have strong immunity, not as easy as the previous Windows version Injured, so vulnerable - although the reason is often the WIndows tree big wind, more hackers care.
This way, when Microsoft publishes its own WIndows, as the user's most basic system software, it should still have stronger immunity, including automatic prevention of viruses, Trojans and the like. As for whether it is bundled or not The security of the system itself that the user cares about, the user is most concerned about.
It is expected that in the future, Microsoft will pay more attention to the immunity of Windows itself. However, due to the complexity of the system, it will inevitably be exposed as vulnerabilities as the previous version. At this time, antivirus software vendors will have Use it.
This means that Microsoft Win7 anti-virus technology will have a certain degree of progress, but due to professional problems, it will inevitably leave a lot of market space for anti-virus software vendors, after all, the industry has specialized. Therefore, anti-virus software vendors do not have to worry about Microsoft Win7 anti-virus.
Of course Microsoft's Win7 anti-virus technology is not very important, it is not very important, just as a person (Win7), although you may often find a doctor (anti-virus software) due to illness (virus infection), but he has to exercise It is no surprise that the body increases immunity (self-discipline anti-virus technology), so that there is less disease. It’s not always that doctors (anti-virus software) are afraid that people will not be sick, so no business is done (can’t sell anti-virus software)?
