The sequel to the "3Q" war resumed yesterday with a "small start-up program." 360's unannounced and swift attack caught Tencent off guard. Since the "3Q" war in November of last year, it seems that the grudge between these two rivals has never been resolved, leading them to fight once again in a bloody battle until one dies. Following last year's "3Q" war, the open conflict between Tencent QQ and 360 Security Guard may have ended, but the covert battles continue. The "irreconcilable differences" have led to another showdown.
According to Tencent QQ Computer Manager's official Weibo account, since the beginning of this year, 360 Security Guard has been constantly making small moves against QQ. Its "optimization" function once excluded QQ Computer Manager from starting up, preventing its launch. After mediation by relevant departments, 360 had slightly reined in. However, in July, it once again placed "Computer Manager" under house arrest, adding it to the "blacklist," affecting millions of users and finally igniting the fuse of Tencent's pent-up anger.
Regarding Tencent's claim of being "assassinated," 360's statement said that unless the user optimizes themselves, 360 will not arbitrarily interfere with the user's ability to start functions. Users using the 360 Quick Start feature to disable some excess software is entirely the user's decision. It also accused Tencent of installing QQ Computer Manager on users' computers without their knowledge. It is rumored that the QQ Computer Manager launched by Tencent is a "knockoff product" of 360, almost like twins from the same womb, which makes 360 harbor resentment and seek an opportunity to give Tencent a good beating.
The verbal sparring between the two companies has sparked heated discussions among netizens, akin to watching a street brawl. In order to defeat each other, they disregard their image and words, leaving a bad impression. This 3Q showdown currently presents a situation of "two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain" or "fighting until death." Each side has its own justification for who is right or wrong. This move has stirred the nerves of many netizens. Some believe that Tencent fabricated screenshots, while others think that 360's one-click optimization function uses public resources for private gain, squeezing out other software and tools. More netizens express that they hope both sides can peacefully resolve the issue and stop using the name of users to compete for the market, scheming against each other, which would only lead to mutual destruction. Some microblog users posted that these two leading enterprises should set an example as "big brothers" rather than being petty and mutually destructive.
Since the development of the Internet, the rules of the "jungle" seem to have no effect. In the eyes of merchants, there is only "success or failure." The large amount of text calling for "rational and standardized development" appears to have long been thrown into the "recycling bin." The scheming and power struggles between enterprises and merchants seem to never cease. Such malicious competition and chaotic battles are detrimental to the healthy development of the Internet, including the IT industry. An old Chinese saying goes, "harmony brings wealth." Fighting and killing will only lead to a bumpy road, and when will liberation be won? There is a claim online that this time, the 3Q war is about money for both software companies. 360 adopted a surprise strategy, catching Tencent completely off guard. With no other options, Tencent let the vast army of netizens choose between the two, causing great dissatisfaction among users and inviting harsh criticism.
In the information age, the IT industry has become a pillar of the national economy and the most important lifeline for the survival of the Internet. The big 3Q war gives us insight: enterprises must pay more attention to network information security. 360's challenge to QQ is mainly due to safety, information protection, and rights protection. 360 has always harbored resentment towards Tencent for copying its security products and infringing on its rights. Global e-commerce experts China Nuowang (www.nuo.cn) also remind everyone that information security is crucial in virtual society. An enterprise's information being attacked could bring devastation. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, relatively weaker in security awareness, establishing websites, conducting online promotions, setting up servers, protecting domains, etc., all involve important processes of information security.
The smoke of war has not yet dissipated. Who will win or lose in this showdown? Who is right or wrong? We will see how the 3Q war unfolds.
