US companies want to unite big computer makers to prevent Green dam from spreading

"Solid oak" in the United States of China's "Green Dam ——— Youth escort" Internet filtering software is tightly pursued.　　After accusing the software of "Green Dam" of stealing the company's technology, "solid oak" 16th announced to join Dell and Hewlett-Packard and other big computer companies to block the promotion of Green dam, but also to the FBI's Computer Crime Task Force to appeal to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. According to the BBC 16th, "Solid oak" software company president Brian Milburn announced that the company is contacting Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies, "to prevent the installation of Green Dam software, the computer to sell to China." "If China gets pirated Microsoft Windows software for free and asks Dell and HP to install the software on computers sold to China, you will certainly hear loud protests," Milburn told the BBC.　　China lacks a correct understanding of intellectual property rights. "China has installed ' Green dam ' software in 9 million PCs, and China's installation of green Dam software has caused American computer makers to" get bogged down in a controversy that is not theirs, "says Mill.　　"I just want to do the right thing," he said, "that they (computer makers) once refused to sell the opportunity to install such a software computer." Milburn previously accused China's "green dam" software of stealing part of the code of the "nanny" filter software of "solid oak" companies. "I'm 99.99% sure that, even if it's not the whole software, there's a big part of the code that steals the nanny."　　As the "Green Dam" bad Web Site "blacklist" Update Library to log on its servers, Milburn also threatened, "in order to avoid the server because of a large number of Chinese users to the paralysis, a possible way to consider is to block China's address." Milburn 16th again to the BBC to talk to the Chinese companies to "litigate", but he was "not sure if this is worth it." "We're just a small company and it's impossible to win China," he said. We don't want to be a litigious enterprise. "　　"Solid Oak" will also lodge a complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Computer crime Special Operations Unit, Milburn said. According to the BBC, Dell said it did not sell computers installed with green Dam software. Dell spokesman Frink said, "We know about China's policies and are talking to other people in the industry about the strategy." Hewlett-Packard 16th in the Global Times, the interview with a more cautious attitude, said they have a unified answer to the question. "Hewlett-Packard is working closely with the American Information Technology Industry Association (ITI) to get further information, confirm some issues and monitor the process," the Global Times correspondent said in a statement issued by Hewlett-Packard. "For the" solid Oak "company frequently criticized, research and development of" Green Dam "Zhengzhou Jinhui computer Systems Engineering Co., Ltd. Responsible person responded that these accusations are inaccurate, the company will no longer respond to the" Green dam "software problems. Some analysts believe that "solidBody Oak "Company obviously has the meaning of speculation.　　The company was only a small U.S. reputation, the blame for the "Green Dam" plagiarism, suddenly become the focus of international attention, and if you can pull a few big computer companies and the Chinese lawsuit, its visibility is higher. In addition to copyright issues, "green dam" security issues have suddenly become a topic of concern. In recent days, there have been Western software companies and so-called researchers stand up to question the safety of Green Dam. Some people suggested that "green dam" itself is very fragile, after installation is vulnerable to cyber hackers attack.　　Even security researchers have predicted that Green dam will make 50 million of users vulnerable to hacking. Researchers at the University of Michigan also published a so-called Vulnerability analysis report on Green Dam, the flaw lies in the filtering function of green Dam, where malicious Web sites may detect vulnerabilities, steal private information, spread spam, or infect computers with "zombie programs" to control users ' computers.　　In addition, they also believe that the "Green Dam" Update blacklist process also has loopholes, can give software producers the opportunity to install malicious code. 　　In this regard, some experts believe that any such software has a security loophole, this can not be blamed for "Green dam" software good reasons.
