As the virus continues to rage in the world, with which Trump also managed to become infected and recovered in three days. Faster than the flu with which he once compared it. And not a single president or leader of the country has died or will die of Covid-19. Let's take a look an antivirus.
The computer viruses appeared with the advent of the Internet, and with the emerging opportunity to quickly spread information. And quickly there were companies developing software to combat the infection.
With the development of the Internet and the emergence of a heap of services in it, as well as with the migration of existing ones to online and the arrival of big money there, it has grown a lot. And the cases of failure of computer systems frightened users so much that representatives of development SPYSOFTWARE antivirus software companies began to appear in the world news, greatly increasing the sales of antivirus software.
The peak probably fell in 2000, and was increased, by the 2000 problem. Some computer databases did not have a four-digit year and were afraid that with the departure of 99 it would become 00 and everything would be reset, but nothing happened.
Then the well-known Chernobyl virus was still raging, with which the author of this text had to face. And all users were tortured if they brought something on a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
However, later the manufacturers of both computers and software, and by the way the creators of programming languages, have worked seriously with security and viral activity has slowly dropped to almost zero by the present time.
Anti-virus software manufacturers have followed the trend of developing a free version of the program, offering a fully functional version for money. And stopped to bother the user almost every hour. All the same, the competition is doing its job and we choose the antivirus that is least annoying.
Everything would be fine, but that's just security, including on the Internet, that's a thing, so to speak. One expert stated that security can only be total. And already in 2000, when there was a peak in the activity of virus writers, many experts called the computer user the main problem of computer security.
Stupid users did not bother to come up with a complex password, but having come up with it, they wrote it down on a sticker and glued it to the monitor screen, send it on email etc. They forgot diskettes with passwords in public places, and sometimes the computers themselves with classified information.
However, there is one more thing. In Russia and Eastern Europe, of all IT companies at the international level, it is mainly the creators of antivirus software that have achieved success. But the western companies also exists. Get in touch with founder of company McAffy. When a host in Russia asked representatives of antivirus companies what they thought about free antivirus software. That got a very nervous reaction. And in Russia, perhaps in Eastern Europe there is such an expression. We ourselves create problems for ourselves, and then we heroically overcome them. P.S. The author never paid for antivirus software and used it only on the Windows operating system. It never used on the phone and iPad, and no problems were noticed.
