Chapter 679 Heavy losses

At the same time, the computer host is also suffering from cruel torture.

The computer pu, that is, the host's brain, has entered the Pentium era. In order to give users better performance, this pu can be overclocked. For example, the famous Celeron 300a in later generations, some enthusiasts have exceeded 450, and some have exceeded 600. At the same time, some players have failed to play. Due to the excessive overclocking of the Celeron 300, the heat dissipation cannot keep up, resulting in a big hole in the core of the core. This phenomenon is not uncommon.

Ultra-external frequency and ultra-double frequency make low-end PUs have high-end performance, which means spending less money and doing more things. At this time, this kind of DIY has begun to gradually become popular around the world.

Therefore, Kevin's virus will certainly not miss this opportunity. As long as it enters the host host, the PU model of the host will be analyzed, and then a higher overclocking indicator will be set.

For example, the current old John's computer contains a 486 pu. It originally had only 2 times the frequency doubling and 50mhz external frequency. However, now, the virus suddenly attacks, and immediately changes the external frequency and frequency doubling of the pu in the OS. The frequency doubling is set to 4 and the external frequency is set to 100. At the same time, in order to make the pu hang up as soon as possible, the voltage of the pu is also increased to accelerate internal heating.

Even the highest-end 486, the frequency double is only 3! Now the frequency double has become twice as high as the original, and the total performance has become four times the original. What follows is of course a huge heat generation!

The poor 486 had no cooling fan at all, so after just five seconds, it immediately smoked, and the ceramic shell outside also cracked with the smoke.

However, even the Pentium Pu with a fan has no choice, because the virus will send instructions to the fan and stop the fan from rotating.

If the destruction is only the case, then if you replace it with a new PU, the computer can still run again, which is of course impossible. The main purpose of this virus is to completely destroy the computer!

The most important thing to destroy the computer is to destroy the data stored in the computer!

At this time, computers have already started to use hard disks as their main storage devices, and their capacity is generally below 2g. Although the capacity of a USB drive in later generations is not enough, it can already store a lot of data.

The hard disk uses the principle of magnetic materials to store data, and 0 and 1 are distinguished according to n and s. The core element in the hard disk is the disk disk. In the vacuum-sealed hard disk, the disk disk rotates at high speed, the head moves back and forth, and finds the location of the required information. The most important thing is the 0 track, where the main boot program and partition table information of the hard disk are stored here. Generally speaking, as long as the 0 track is damaged, it means that the disk is scrapped.

Now, when the virus starts to attack, the program that damages the disk starts to start quickly. This program is very simple, starting from track 0 and performing low-level programs!

Low-level formatting is a kind of damage to the hard disk. The result of the low-level 0 tracks is that all data disappears!

Not just track 0, track 1, track 2... The program starts running quickly in sequence.

Low-level formatting is a thorough cleaning of the hard disk. Even if you open the disk in a dust-free environment and re-recover the hardware-level recovery, you cannot find the data from it!

Of course it is not limited to these. If it is a computer with an optical drive, the laser head of the optical drive is working at full power at this time, and the frequency of the graphics card is also increased...

"Damn it, virus attack!" Unlike the slow old John, when the computer screen turned gray, the Pentagon staff quickly discovered the problem. It must be that the computer was infected with the virus!

However, even though they knew the problem, the way these people handled it differently. Most of them subconsciously unplugged the network cable. After all, most of the viruses are spread through the Internet, and it is also possible that at the moment when the virus broke out, their confidential data were constantly being stolen.

In this way, they missed the opportunity. When the charred smell came out of the case, they realized that the problem was big. These viruses could actually destroy the computer's hardware!

This day is simply the anniversary of the disaster for computer users across the United States. On this day, more than 60% of computers in the United States died at the moment of the virus attack.

Those users who are sensitive to the response can also remove the power plug to avoid the misfortune of chip burning. To remove viruses, it is not enough to rely on advanced formatting alone. They must format the hard disk data area again and format it.

However, all user data on the hard drive will be lost!

They are quite lucky that those users who reacted slowly smelled the burnt smell of the computer motherboard. They stared blankly as the computer's speed suddenly became unusually fast, and then within one or two seconds, the computer returned to the black screen.

A company that is receiving orders and negotiating business; a shareholder where the sale contract is being sent; a research unit that is processing data; a director of a company that is processing important documents...

Millions of unprepared computer users suffered a catastrophe at this moment.

Some companies, factories, and departments that rely heavily on computers are even more completely paralyzed and panicked.

All information was urgently submitted to various departments in the United States.

The White House, the FBI, and the Pentagon all have a large number of computers paralyzed, and they have to face the continuous reports of losses. Countless computer experts are urgently investigating what virus is causing this unprecedented disaster.

That President Bush, known as the old cowboy of Texas, is at the peak of his anger.

Who dares to get the American Empire?

At this time, the news of the onset of the US virus spread all over the world through radio waves. Europe urgently disconnected the network connection with the US, Asia disconnected the network connection with the US, and Canada, Mexico and other countries around the US were also facing computer virus attacks, and they didn't know why.

An hour after the virus broke out, an antivirus program claimed to be specifically targeting this virus suddenly appeared on various websites in the United States.

The fearful American computer users downloaded and installed them one after another. Within ten minutes, the number of downloaders reached millions, which was even greater than the results of the past week.

However, this is just another virus.

Countless fools were stunned when faced with the virus that immediately downloaded and immediately broke out.

There are hundreds of thousands of computer users who were killed and retaliated by virus destroyers, turning a large number of computers into scraps!

It took the United States several weeks to remove the virus.

After taking stock of the losses, everyone couldn't help but vomited blood: the direct economic losses were nearly 10 billion US dollars, the indirect economic losses exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and the potential losses were immeasurable!

The Cowboy President was furious on TV and vowed to retaliate by his greatest support since his election.

Uncle Sam was angry, and the thunderous rage was uncontrollable!

"Bang!" Bush's hand slapped the table hard and said to the CIA director in front: "William, is this the conclusion of your investigation?"

Logically, the FBI should be responsible for this domestic matter. However, because the president suspected that this matter was inseparable from the Soviets, there was even an Iraqi pawn, and such matters involved in foreign affairs were handed over to the CIA.

Now, the CIA is also acting very quickly. In just one week, the investigation results came out, but the results were not satisfactory to him.

"This virus, we have not discovered abroad, has spread from our country." CIA Director William looked at the furious president and continued: "We suspect that there are a small group of computer experts, yes, who are doing cyber attacks on us like Kevin once. They may still be in our country now."

Kevin, a computer expert who broke into the Pentagon and the North American Command network system, has been unknown in recent years. However, the sudden outbreak of this virus pandemic across the United States reminds William of this person who was once. Only a master of this level can make such a virus, right?

"Okay, even so, organize people immediately, find these hackers and bring them to justice!" Bush said: "This matter will be left to the FBI, and it must be fast! Our citizens need an explanation!"

Who would have thought that just the paralysis of networks and computers across the United States would have such a major impact? It can actually affect the US economy! Due to the damage to the computer system of the aviation system, flights in the United States were grounded for three days! The data stored in the stock exchange system was also damaged. Many companies' assets had to be re-evaluated, and those shareholders holding stocks were also anxious.

At this time, the government must use powerful means to stabilize the financial order!

"Mr. President, Pakistan has sent a message that some of our government's computers have been damaged and they are willing to provide us with two hundred computers for free," said Secretary of State Baker.

At this time, Pakistan also knew that timely help was a helping hand! There were not many 200 computers, but due to large amounts of damage to the computers, the price of computers in the market soared, which was twice as high as before! The increase in the government's fiscal deficit made the government hesitate for a long time to purchase computers, and these computers sent by Pakistan were extremely precious.

A few years ago, Pakistan reached an agreement with Amd Company to start building wafer factories in Pakistan to produce PU and other components. At the same time, Pakistan also began its own chip design. Now, Pakistan can produce 486pu in full synchronous production, and these computers are all equipped with this PU products.
