Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, April 20th (reporters Jianxin Zhang, Yudan Wang) - On April 20th, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released information stating that on April 26th, the CIH1.2 computer virus will activate periodically.
It is reported that this virus is a file-type virus. If a computer is unfortunately infected by this virus, it will infect the EXE executable files in the operating system. On the 26th, it will attempt to overwrite the system hard drive with random data and cause permanent damage to the system by destroying the Flash Bios data storage. Data recovery after being damaged by this virus is extremely difficult.
The National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center recently discovered through internet monitoring that most malicious attackers infiltrate computer operating systems by exploiting some error vulnerabilities in Microsoft's IE browser, causing users to be unknowingly attacked.
Experts remind people to timely download and install the IE browser vulnerability patch program to prevent malicious attacks from happening.
