Chapter 609 The last fight of the red-clothed cannon(1/2)
The case of pandas burning incense is still being advanced intensively.
Then, I discovered that someone was fishing in troubled waters!
“360 is dishonest!”
"What's wrong?"
"During this period, many users have repeatedly installed anti-virus software, mainly free 360 Anti-Virus and Micropoint Anti-Virus. Before this, although the two software were incompatible with each other and could not run at the same time, they could exist at the same time.
.In the past few days, 360 has been engaging in small tricks, secretly deleting our adaptation files through background programs, causing the micro-point anti-virus to be unable to run."
Because there were certain differences, Meng Houkun went directly to Zhou Buqi.
Zhou Buqi nodded, "It's not strange. It fits the style there. What do you want to do?"
"Of course it's a tooth for a tooth." Meng Houkun snorted, "360 Antivirus is so big, Micropoint Antivirus dominates 80% of the market. We can also use technical means. As long as users install Micropoint Antivirus, they can no longer install 360 Antivirus.
.During this period, the number of downloads of 360 Antivirus has increased dramatically and must be curbed.”
Zhou Buqi said calmly, "Where is Ji Zian?"
"He doesn't agree, but Xu Liangjie supports my point of view."
"Technical interference does not allow users to install 360 products. Isn't that a rogue method? How is it different from 360?"
"Huh?" Meng Houkun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would actually recognize Ji Zian. He was surprised and said: "Boss Zhou, we are only targeting 360. The other Jinshan, Ruixing, Jiangmin and so on can be used. We are just fighting back, it doesn't count.
What?"
Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This is using users as a battlefield to attack the enemy. This won't work. Dogs can bite you, but you can't bite dogs. Doesn't this lower yourself to the same level as the opponent?"
Meng Houkun said angrily: "Boss Zhou, why do I think that after the company became bigger, your sharp edge has been tempered? Back then we..."
"I was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, can it be the same?" Zhou Buqi interrupted him and waved his hand, "Weidian's brand image is too important, and it's not just about Weidian antivirus. If it's just for a 360 antivirus
If you just destroy your own brand, you will lose more than you gain. Ji Zian has an overall view. He is not weak, but balances the pros and cons."
"Then you can't tie yourself up, right?"
"Open your mind, we have several dog-beating sticks in our hands!"
"oh?"
Meng Houkun blinked.
Zhou Buqi called his assistant Wang Xing over and gave him three instructions.
First, on the 25th of this month, Micropoint Antivirus will disclose some basic information about the Panda Burning Incense virus, telling the public that Micropoint Antivirus can effectively defend against Panda Burning Incense, and calling on everyone to install it quickly. At the same time, users must be clearly informed that before installing Micropoint Antivirus
At the same time, do not install other anti-virus software, especially 360 Anti-Virus.
Second, micro-point search will be launched soon, which will reduce the search weight of all Qihoo 360 products and reject all advertising cooperation from 360.
Third, under the entry "Panda Burning Incense" in the Microdot Encyclopedia, list the various behaviors of 360 Antivirus. Then publicize them through school news and friend networks, and kill them directly!
However, in Zhou Buqi's view, the latter two points may not be necessary at all.
Because if the first point is done well, 360 Antivirus may die.
After arranging these things, Zhou Buqi made a call to Zhou Hongyi. His tone was not angry at all, and he said with a smile: "Old Zhou, are you not very authentic?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hongyi was still pretending.
Zhou Buqi said: "Why is 360 Antivirus checking and killing the startup files of Micropoint Antivirus?"
Zhou Hongyi said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Zhou Buqi sighed, "Old Zhou, when we do business, we should behave accordingly. It's not appropriate to use this method all the time, right? Can't 3721's style be changed?"
Zhou Hongyi said: "What is this? Have you misunderstood? It is normal for anti-virus software to be incompatible. Any two anti-virus software are not compatible. How to choose depends on the user's usage habits. Let's do this
, I asked our technical director to ask. I can assure you that there is absolutely no technical malicious attack!"
A confrontation.
Zhou Hongyi refused to admit it. After ending the call, she did not hesitate at all and immediately went to the technical team established specifically to combat micro-point antivirus. Technical Director Xu Ming personally led the team.
"How is the situation?" Zhou Hongyi was a little anxious.
Xu Ming smiled and said: "It's very good. We are progressing as planned."
Zhou Hongyi said in a deep voice: "Be vigilant! They just called me and talked about a technical strike. I guess they will respond soon."
"ah?"
Xu Ming's expression changed, and he felt a little worried and a little afraid.
He is not a professional expert in the field of information security. He used to be a senior technical manager of 3721, and his level in network security is not very good.
Not to mention industry leaders like Biweidian, even compared to Ruixing and Kingsoft, they are far behind.
It can even be said that 360 Anti-Virus is currently the lowest-level anti-virus software in China. It is driven by free services, and the anti-virus level is far behind other products.
Technical strikes are a bit like hackers’ methods.
Xu Ming felt ashamed.
Seeing his ugly face, Zhou Hongyi knew something was wrong and said with a dark face: "Can't you do it?"
Xu Ming said bitterly: "It's okay to come here secretly, but if we are really tough, our technology is indeed inferior and we lack technical reserves in network security."
Zhou Hongyi sighed, feeling helpless.
When we first started 360 Antivirus, we discussed internally that it was too early and we should start with 360 Security Guard. While cultivating users, we slowly accumulated related network security technologies.
Wait a year or two before launching 360 Antivirus.
However, Zhou Hongyi made the decision and forced the launch of 360 Antivirus.
Time waits for no one!
He couldn't wait any longer.
In one or two years, Micropoint Antivirus will completely monopolize the entire market. At that time, if 360 Antivirus is launched, the day lily will be cold.
But 360 Antivirus, which has been launched in a hurry, has to face a very embarrassing situation, and its technical level is very poor. Not to mention the Panda Burning Incense virus that is currently popular on the market, in the face of some other viruses in the past few months, it seems that
Pale and feeble.
It is a typical product that is cheap but not good, and is often laughed at by peers.
Xu Ming tentatively said: "Old Zhou, why don't we stop here for a while?"
"No!" Zhou Hongyi categorically rejected and snorted coldly, "Increase the intensity of technical interference, not only for micro-point antivirus, but also for all peer software. As long as the user installs 360 antivirus, he can only become a 360
Users are prohibited from uninstalling and using other similar products!"
"Then over there Weidian..."
"I'll try again. This panda burning incense is an opportunity. Whether Qi Hu lives or dies depends on whether it can happen this time! Work harder here!"
Zhou Hongyi believed that Zhou Buqi was relatively modest and well-behaved, and he might not dare to use technical strikes.
More importantly, Qihoo 360 is launching a new round of financing recently.
But the financing process was not smooth.
Investors are not optimistic about the company's two main products, 360 Security Guard and 360 Antivirus. This kind of free software has no profit prospects.
The routine of the Internet free model is very simple. First, harvest users for free, and then use high traffic to cash out. But now that users cannot be harvested, where will the traffic come from? There is no traffic, so how to cash out?
Therefore, Zhou Hongyi must grit her teeth and persist.
At least take advantage of the recent outbreak of the Panda Burning Incense Virus to gain a large number of users, hand over a beautiful report card to investors, and then promote a new round of financing...
Without financing, Qihoo 360 may not be able to survive for more than half a year.
Back in the office, Zhou Hongyi called Zhou Buqi again, warmly and politely, saying that 360 Antivirus was normal and there were no other unconventional methods. The industry consensus was that the antivirus software was incompatible, which was normal.
Zhou Buqi is very young and seems to have been fooled by him.
…
"Yaxian, what's going on with your sister? I sent her messages, but she didn't even reply."
"I told her."
"What?"
Ning Yaxian said: "I told her that you had bad intentions, and she got angry and said that you were wishful thinking."
"Damn!" Zhou Buqi cursed and said angrily: "I feel sorry for you sisters because they are all divorced, so I want to take you in, but you still don't know a good heart? Do you really think I'm short of women?"
Ning Yaxian said in embarrassment: "Even if you mean well, we are sisters, biological sisters, how can we be like this?"
Zhou Buqi snorted: "Why not? Empress E's daughter is a story that will last forever."
Ning Yaxian refused and shook her head slightly, "That was in ancient times, it was different from now. And...not to mention my parents and family, what do you think Miss Wen and Miss Shi? Don't you think we are vixens?
They will definitely be unhappy if we two sisters join forces to seduce you. I don't want to fight over anything, I just want Xinxin to grow up healthily."
"Well……"
Zhou Buqi blinked and fell silent.
To be continued...
