Many people have suspected: antivirus software companies in order to sell the intentional manufacture of viruses? These two days, similar farce really was exposed, and caused a stir.  Although suspected of "thief" antivirus companies to defend themselves, and said to be the malicious speculation by rivals, but through this incident, the emerging mobile phone security market turmoil is also thoroughly exposed to the public. Antivirus is a large shareholder of the drug transmission is exposed to the well-known antivirus enterprise "Net Qin World." In the video released by CCTV's "3 15 party", a young man complained that his "parallel" Nokia bought is built into the "Fei download" software and Network Qin Antivirus, in use he found that "Fei Liu" can not be deleted, but also secretly generated some strange procedures, resulting in mobile phones can not be used. Finally, pay the Net Qin 2 Yuan service fee, the virus is cleared, the handset returns to normal.  CCTV said that many mobile phone users have encountered a similar situation, by the Beijing Electronic Data Forensic Identification Center confirmed that the network Qin removal of the virus indeed from the "Fei Liu." It is surprising that the industry and commerce registration materials show that NetQin is the "download" of the supply side Fei Nine Company's second largest shareholder, and two of the company's individual departments even share offices, very close relationship. In fact, in the installation of the "Fei download" mobile phone, in addition to NetQin, other anti-virus software can not run.  This intensified the people to the Network Qin and Fei qi "double" impression. The time that the Net Qin is exposed can say very embarrassed. NetQin currently offers Android, Nokia, Microsoft and other versions of anti-virus software, but also a small number of anti-virus charges company. The company announced yesterday that it had filed an application with the US securities regulator to fund an IPO in New York, raising 100 million of billions of dollars.  NetQin admitted in the listing application, holding nine days of 33% shares, CCTV exposure will greatly affect the company's image and business. NetQin said in a separate announcement that it had never transmitted malware to itself and affiliated companies. And nine days in a statement said, "315 Party" report is seriously inconsistent with the facts, and that this is likely to be caused by malicious competition. However, the majority of netizens on the microblog that the two companies of the rebuttal is not convincing enough.  and Jinshan Mobile defender yesterday said that last year they found "Liu Fei" malicious behavior, and the software comprehensive killing. Mobile antivirus, vague benefits of mobile antivirus is an emerging industry. A few years ago, most people did not want to install anti-virus software for mobile phones.  But as smartphones become more and more like computers, people are starting to worry that their phones will be as toxic as computers. According to the report released earlier this year, in the mobile antivirus market, NetQin accounted for 8.5% of the share, ranked second.  By the end of last year, the domestic installation of mobile phone security software users have 78 million, year-on-year growth of nearly 3 times times, and China's 800 million mobile phone users compared to the development of space is enormous. But experts in the field of information security believe that, at least for now, mobile phones do not need to install anti-virus software. Liu Gongshen, associate professor of information security Engineering, Shanghai Jiaotong University told reporters yesterday that heThere are two smartphones, an Android system, a Microsoft system, no anti-virus software, no special security measures. Liu Gongshen's research area is malicious code and anti-virus, he said the mobile phone has never been a large-scale epidemic of the case. As a result, the mobile phone software system is more special, it is difficult to edit the virus; Secondly, in the mobile phone upload poison, but is to malicious deduction fee or steal privacy, but the deduction fee is very easy to be found by users, and to operators complained, at the same time, in the mobile phone is also difficult like a computer can steal the bank card password, game account and other valuable privacy.  Since it is difficult to do and do not earn money, there is not much mobile virus. But if the market value of anti-virus software is taken into account, the spread of drugs may have a new interest point.  It can be said that CCTV's criticism of the Network Qin is: The main purpose of the virus is to sell anti-virus software. Previously, the Network Qin in the user's reputation is not very good. Reporters in some mobile forum found that many players believe that the netqin is a difficult to unload, and not much useful software. Well-known it bo Wang bin last December, said the end of the previous year, he bought a Nokia parallel mobile phone, the next day found that the mobile phone did not know why it was installed in the Network Qin, Fei and other software. And it is difficult to uninstall, you must pass the "brush machine", that is, completely reload the system to clear.  "Brush machine" needs to have a certain technology, the general mobile phone users will not operate. Wang Bin's net name is "The Rock Heart".  ' Is this kind of private software behavior a rogue software act on a mobile phone? ' he said. Software to promote the existence of loopholes Wang bin said he had and the Network Qin and Liu Fei high-level questions. Net Qin CEO Lin Yu reply him: "For the industry to promote the software, such as UC, NetQin, Fei, there is indeed a channel layer of subcontracting, illegal channel malicious promotion, we are constantly strengthening the management rectification."  "And Liu Fei, CEO Lin said, this should be illegal promotion channel business." This interaction also revealed the mobile phone anti-virus software to promote the drawbacks. At present, some software vendors in order to expand users, often through the use of parallel mobile phone operators, their software built in the mobile phone tying; every random sale of software, mobile phone business can be 1 to 2 yuan.  "315 Party" released a candid picture shows, sitting at the cramped counter, a mobile phone operator said, one day to 1000 of mobile phone built-in software. At present, there is not enough evidence to prove that NetQin and Fei intentionally designed a "thief also catching thieves" farce, perhaps this can be interpreted as "some pusher for some purpose, secretly for the download of the malicious code."  But even so, two companies are still guilty of losing control of their software, let alone a vested interest. Net Qin CEO Lin Yu yesterday "The Martyr Hero" posture in micro-blog said: "The great company Road, full of hardship, even slander humiliation." We, in the road, with firm footsteps, let our opponents fear!  But more than 90% of the more than 3,000 comments later expressed dissatisfaction with the netqin. According to the Network Qin incident, Opda smartphone network founder Sue"The persistence of some frauds is, in itself, a mockery of our mobile application development teams," said Guang-sheng in Weibo. Yesterday, Nokia issued a statement saying that, as a precautionary measure, it had removed NetQin from its App store and conducted investigations.  NetQin was an important software partner for Nokia. Newspaper reporter Zhang Yi
