According to Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, 22, the anti-virus Center of Beijing Jiangmin company, on the 22nd, it was detected that a virus named "Piglet" was being spread online, and the computer was completely paralyzed after being poisoned.

This destructive virus can infect the computer's EXE executable files, while damaging the operating system, so that the computer is completely paralyzed. Even more annoying is that the virus will replace the infected file with the virus itself and change the file icon to the "pig" pattern.

Anti-virus experts remind netizens to guard against "pig" in four aspects: Upgrade the virus database in time, enable all monitoring functions of anti-virus software, and disable the automatic playback function of the system, to prevent viruses from entering the computer from mobile storage devices such as USB flash drives. Do not open executable files sent by QQ, MSN, or other instant messaging tools. Do not click URLs of unknown origins; install all the security patches for Microsoft to prevent viruses from intruding into the system as Web Trojans.
