Comprehensively analyze the relationship between world anti-virus software
Speaking of anti-virus engine, in the history of global computer virus, there have been two more famous characters.
The first is Russia's Eugene Kaspersky. In 1989, Eugene Kaspersky began to study computer viruses. From 1991 to 1997, he led a batch of assistants to develop an AVP anti-virus program in the information technology center of Russian Large Computer Company "Kami". Kaspersky lab was established in 1997, and Eugene Kaspersky is one of the founders. In November 2000, AVP was renamed Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Eugene Kaspersky is a member of the Computer Anti-Virus Researcher Association (CARO), and members of the association are international top anti-virus experts. Avp's anti-virus engine and virus library have been weighed by its rigorous structure, thorough killing ability.
The other is Doctor Soloman. The Doctor Soloman, which was created, was once the largest anti-virus company in Europe, which was later merged by McAfee and became part of the largest secure Torares Nai. In the early days, McAfee and some anti-virus software companies in Europe often raise the battle between the tongue, but their own anti-virus engine is not good, so McAfee deactivates its own anti-virus engine, turn the engine of the acquisition to Doctor Soloman products.
Although AVP is the peak of technology, but because of the lazy development market for a long time, there are not many users in a long time, which leads to the loss of developers. The other anti-virus product Dr.Web in Russia has a deep origin of AVP, and Symantec NAV's main developers can also see the old figure of Eugene, and some people go to McAfee, but this has never changed the AVP. The world's top anti-virus engine.
But due to historical origin, Eugene Kaspersky ultimately decided to dilute the name of AVP (AntiVirus Tookit Pro), with KAV (Kaspersky Anti-Virus).
In China, since the anti-virus software market in the 1990s, the end of the KILL in the world has been ended, and the domestic anti-virus software manufacturers such as Rising, Jiangmin, Jinshan, Jia Da Mingtai have gradually held most of the market. Crazy price cuts, media creation, such as the lawsuit have been considered by the foreign market, and staged another scene in China. Now, there are foreign manufacturers to come in. Chinese manufacturers want to go out, and the two "relationships" will be entangled.
The gun is playing the birds, Jinshan detonated anti-virus engine, foreign topic
Since 2002, the outside world is shining. "Jinshan Company bought the Russian Dr.Web engine authorization in September 2000, only signed the right to use, in September 2001", later "21st century economic report "One report" Jinshan Drug Invention is suspected of piracy ", making this issue open.
Jinshan Software Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jinshan") Beijing Rising Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rising") and Jiangmin New Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiangmin Technology") two companies Standing out and talking, statement is not related to this report. However, the words "Rising" appeared many times in the report, the Jinshan Company was difficult to calm, Jinshan's new hatred hate that the Rising accumulated for a long time.
Rising company evidence comes from a fax of Russia Dr.Web, "the right to use the Kingshan anti-virus engine is indeed due to the expiration of September 2001", and Jinshan Company has been clarified by trade secrets, two lawsuits Progress appears, everything depends on the attitude of Russia Dr.Web.
With regard to this, there have been different subsequent versions, one of which is: because of the exposure of the anti-virus engine event, Jinshan company is very annoyed, sent Wang Tao, vice president of the competent technical technical vice president of June 2002, and Wang Feng, Vice President Wang Feng with Russia. Aspects are negotiating, ready to renew the second year contract. Jinshan Company has been suspecting that Rising company is working hard with Russia, so it is very cautious, and Russia also biting the price code is not loose mouth. Since 2003, they will talk about each other. Recently, the news from the inside of Jinshan said that the date of the last renewal is not far away.
Until now, Chen Fei Zhou, Director of the Kingsoft Internet Security, is still using the title of "Sino-Russian Global Virus Monitoring Network" that is allowed to sign a contract, has experienced the "Blue Safety Revolution", and pulled the anti-virus software to the bottom of the valley. Still in the market.
"We have never used illegal use," Wang Feng, Vice President of Jinshan Marketing Demide the outside world, "Beginning in 2000, the double engine began to optimize anti-virus technology, plagiarism is because of being too concerned, Jinshan is the only recognition legal Use foreign engine companies. "
In fact, Jinshan Druga has developed his own engine, starting in 1997, there are more than a dozen people, in order to steadily, until the test version of the test from April 1999. From April 1999 to the end of 2000, Jinshan has been released a drug tyrant test version in Free's way. At the end of November 2000, the sales of drug tyrants were started.
Between 2000 and 2001, the R & D cost of WPS was more than 2 million, and the products sold out were also unfavorable. At that time, Jinshan's WPS R & D group is an elite, and I want to transfer the responsible person of the drug tyrant research and development to the WPS group. However, after Chen Fei booked for a while, the drug tyrants began to smash ... The anti-Dynamic anti-virus engine was written by Chen Fei Zhou and renovated several times.
Jinshan understands that more than ten years of technical accumulation is not very easy, including the accumulation of the sample, is a process, not to be a virtual machine, a large number of viral characteristics extraction and clearing modules, etc. It is inevitably independently developed anti-virus engine with a certain gap between foreign products. Jinshan invited Liu Jie, a very thorough abroad, a very thorough, a very thorough, a very thorough, a very thorough. This has always been a deep mountain, but because the rumor comes from a file leak event from Jinshan Finance, the relevant contract document is disclosed online. According to these information, Jinshan got Liu Jie accumulated viral samples, and some other support.
Between 1999 and 2000, Jinshan Company found that many users used two sets of anti-virus software, including international popular anti-virus software Norton, PC-Cillin. Finally, the President of Jinshan Company is a slap, "using two anti-virus engine".
During the choice of foreign anti-virus engine, Jinshan Company has negotiated with many foreign manufacturers, the earliest and trend science and technology, indeed added the trend product PC-Cillin's anti-virus engine in early versions.
At that time, Jinshan Company has been promoting independent research and development, emphasizing the intellectual property, weighing the consideration, and snow hide this history. The trend is also very low in this, including the agency music in China, did not informed it.
But at that time, a famous Chinese Cracker Sac emerged, disrupted the deployment of Jinshan. The SAC has been comparative analysis, and the conclusion of Jinshan plagiarism is obtained, which allows Jinshan Baise to be difficult to distinguish, and lead to this incident in China's exclusive agent. "What China has two trend engines?" Million Yang frequently urged the trend, accelerating the failure of Jinshan and trend preliminary marriage. Finally, Jinshan Company changed the anti-virus engine of Dr.Web, of course, some of the techniques of Dr.Web also came from AVP.
The anti-lamination engine is a non-laminated engine. The anti-virus process of the superimposed engine is slow, for example, to kill 450 file viruses, may report to be 900, because the two engines check it. Jinshan is a non-superposed engine, and the Jinshan Engine and Dr.Web are complementary. The overall anti-virus process of the drug tyrant is faster than other double engine software. This also enables Jinshan's free definition of the virus library, this is the secret of the "Lightning Antivirus" of Jinshan Taxi 2003. Zhengzhou helping Jiangmin Technology suspected of using AVP engine
Summary Time The wind pass industry called "Wang Teacher" Wang Jiangmin Holdings Beijing Zhongguancun all KFC express restaurant, reporter investigation, in fact, Wang Teacher has put into the real estate industry, he does not sell KFC food, but KFC has been using Wang Jiangmin Real estate.
Although Wang Jiangmin has "fades out of the rivers and lakes", it is said that the king does not decentralize, and Jiangmin Company's size must agree through Wang Jiangmin, and even the application for overtime costs. Wang Jiangmin went 9 o'clock every 9 o'clock, after 5:30 in the evening, he was still, usually at the end of the next hour, the operation of the entire Jiangmin Company is still in his control, Jiangmin Company is a "one company company."
It is understood that Mr. Wang, actually for a long time, has been unfained viruses. Recently, I have killed CiH viruses a few years ago.
"Jiangmin's floppy disk is a pure national product," said a person who knows Jiang people says, "But Jiangmin Company has developed some anti-virus software under Windows, including the web version, stand-alone has an AVP shadow."
It belongs to Jiangmin's own products, which is the marked KV product box in the Box of the KV product box with "A:" the word KV anti-virus floppy, that is the old version of the KV, is known as Wang Jiangmin personally developed. However, few people now use KV floppy disks unless they do some data fixes.
Jiang people now antichel the engine, from the developers of the original day 98 Liu Jie, Wang Lei, and He. For a long time, the industry is boiled, and the day 98 is the vulnerability of AVP's anti-virus engine products, takes the AVP anti-virus engine, and extracts the virus library to the upgrade, and then use the Jiangmin anti-virus engine.
Liu Jie, Wang Lei, He Gong Road, is from Zhengzhou, Henan. It is a famous Zhengzhou helping member in China General Software History. Liu Jie has been a technical adviser in Jinshan, who did not enter the Jiangmin Company. The other two people Wang Lei, which has developed KV3000 for Jiangmin Company very early before, and later, it is often the general joy of the general manager of Jiangmin, and persuaded Wang Jiangmin personally came to come, invited Liu Jie to join us, Liu Jie is now the General Engineer of Jiangmin Company. .
A long time ago, the AVP anti-virus engine "Solution" was decrypted in France, and since there was a "borrowed" by anti-virus software in many countries, the Kaspersky laboratory was busy combating piracy everywhere. At the same time, as the AVP products are more and more frequent, the "market share" of AVP off-child products is unprecedented.
In 2002, the general manager of Kaspersky Labs, the wife of Eugene Kaspersky visited Jiangmin Company, and the specific content was unknown, but may be just a ritual visit, at the time she was attending a meeting in Tianjin Virus Testing Center.
However, when the AVP just entered China, Jiang Min Company began a little "panic", and at least revised the naming method of the virus.
Just experienced Jiangmin Company, which was engaged in the R & D team of the virus research and development, allegedly, Wang Lei, who took off the research and development department, and He Gongdao must kice. Liu, Wang, He's combination, the technology is really big enough, but in the field of anti-virus that has been industrialized, Jiangmin's star introduced the strategy and retrieved.
The reporter also learned about another version of Jiangmin used the anti-virus engine. "Liu Jie once has been developed with AVP. Some of the virus records of AVP were added by Liu Jie, and AVP has also given Liu Jie a certain period of time." . It is not simple to transplant the AVP's 2-way module transplantation, and the library is also different from the existing products of Jiangmin KV. Only two possibilities are either on the basis of reference, and have rewritten a large number of modules, or it is possible to obtain source-level licenses like rumors, which may be a quail reference, or private cooperation.
Interface research and development Xue Jinshan South Korea Ang'ao to hold up Oriental Guardian
For a long time, in the company's development and strategic planning, Jia Da Mingtai Software Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ming Tai") has always been difficult to get rid of the model with running Jinshan.
Some people joked that Jinshan is commented on the software market, and Mingtai's constant tight with "harassment" is the characteristic landscape of China's general software industry.
Some people say, "Jinshan does not need market research, because the research does not know how to develop, the fire will do, strive to squeeze others; Ming Tai does not need market research, do not know what to do, simply look Jinshan is doing, "" Jinshan is doing a dictionary, Mingtai is doing a dictionary; Jinshan makes express translations, Mingtai makes express translations; Jinshan is a virus, Ming Tai is a virus, Mingtai anti-virus products, maybe It is the best explanation of the development status of Mingtai products.
In the eyes of many industry people, Mingtai has not given the impression of the big company, but its ability to operate is unquestionable. In April 2003, Mingtai President He Enpei has received a leader of China's top ten software, with Microsoft, Oracle, and the employees of Mingtai and Microsoft's two companies went to Beijing suburbs to plant trees, and Oriental guards. Some fetuses Compared with the dangerous moment in the dead belly, He Enpei in front of the team is much more likely.
At this time, the stand-alone anti-virus engine has been exchanged from the authorization from Han Guoan, and the Mingtai anti-virus software product Oriental Guardian.com has quietly entered the market. It is said to be different from the stand-alone version. The online version is the engine of Spain's Panda Software. .
According to rumors, in November 2001, Mingtai, who has just entered the anti-virus market, has acquired Shanghai Chuangyuan. Many of the Oriental Guardian's technology is the upgrade research and development on the basis of Creative Safety Star. According to sources, although Shanghai Chuangyuan has acquired Nanjing Xinyuan Company, who is divorced due to senior management, and purchases the intellectual property rights of VRV2000 antiviral software, but Creative Safety Star still has many technology to adopt foreign AVP. Antivirus engine.
The person said that in the earliest version of the Oriental Guard, inherited the flaws in an earlier version of the AVP product, and even some of the false pages were the same. This Mingtai is certainly denied.
"It's impossible, we have a strong research and development strength, don't necessarily have to survive foreign countries, actually the Oriental Guardian is also a double engine," Vice President, Mingtai Company, General Manager of Information Security Division, said, "Conta to other The company is not the same, Mingtai and South Korea's cooperation is to consider the future of long-term development. "
When asked the recent Disease anti-virus software into China, and by Shanghai Chaohua Software Acting this sensitive question, Park Shenggen said that there is no conflict in China and Mingtai inquiry, Mingtai is from the brand " Oriental Guardian, for the use of Dr. Dr. Anti-Virus, is not simple Chinese and plagiarism, but a deep technical cooperation. "Do not promote Dr. Affairs in Guang'an, and very small to the outside world."
Park Shenggang said that the Oriental Guardi has only launched the foreign anti-virus engine, and later considering the entering the Southeast Asian market, and the mechanism of domestic viruses and foreign viruses is not the same, and the foreign anti-virus engine is more suitable for foreign environment, so in its new Double engine technology is used in the product.
He believes that Chaohua Software is actually helping South Korea's promotion brand, different from Mingtai and Dr. Ming and Dr. Ming, and the cooperation between Mingtai and Andan.
The answer to Park Shenggen, making the Eastern Guardian engine fog more confusing.
When the Oriental Guardi has just launched in 2002, there are netizens to set them as "Jinshan Drug Dynasty (Oriental Edition)", the reason is that the software interface is very similar to Jinshan drug tyrants, even the name of certain specific functions is the same.
A friend who understands the R & D experience of Oriental Guards revealed that the Oriental Guard Single Edition and Jinshan did not matter. "Oriental Guardian is the Jinshan toxic tyrant" is incorrect, Jinshan's interface draws on many excellent software, and Jinshan itself There is a very powerful force, so it is very beautiful. Everyone is not very good to learn Jinshan Artistic interface style.
This insider also revealed that Ming Tai is choosing from Dr. South Korea, is not because Dr. An, but because its authorization is cheap, it is better to take a risk "plagiarism". It is better to choose to use foreign manufacturers to authorize anti-virus. engine.
Where does domestic software go to all parties to frank the intellectual property crisis?
Panda Software (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Panda") General Manager He Ji Tao said in an interview with a reporter that Panda did not officially authorize the anti-virus engine to Mingtai.com, although the previously signed a paper agreement, but the other relevant payment I have not delivered it, "If the new version of Mingtai contains the panda software anti-virus engine, it must be a stealing."
He Tao explained that the Panda Company did not conduct any engine authorization to Jiaotong Mingtai, but only a "PPS" gateway anti-drug product in the Panda.com is similar to OEM to Jiaotong Mingtai, and the authorization has a date restriction, product I also contain panda logo and company logo. He said that because the technology does not belong to the core of Panda Software, the paid authorization will use other manufacturers to sell the panda software market without much impact.
He believes that domestic software companies generally use foreign anti-virus engine, and have a high research and development level of domestic enterprises. Anti-virus software technology research and development is difficult, one is to need technology accumulation, and second, the technical team is required. If you use foreign technology, sustainability is not enough.
"It is not to say that domestic companies have no complete success," He Tao said, "But, difficulty, risk and uncontrollable factors will increase, absolutely not suggested that unauthorized use anti-virus engine should be opposed."
Rising Technology Co., Ltd. R & D vice president talks about civilization that if there is indeed some domestic manufacturers to use foreign anti-virus engine, this is a very shameful behavior. Especially in China has joined WTO, the issue of intellectual property rights has caused a concern of the whole society, and this happens is shocking and painful. The crisis of intellectual property rights is determined in the anti-virus software industry. "If the infringement of the pirated thing is put on, the manufacturers have to fight the price war against piracy, and it is possible that the entire industry will be dragged."
When asked if Rising has a foreign virus engine phenomenon, talk about civilization, Rising's investment in Ruixing has enabled itself to have a strong anti-virus and information security core technology sufficient to counter international peers, "Chinese people can do well. Come well, you don't want to steal. "
He believes that from the development of software companies in foreign countries, the universal law is the same, domestic enterprises should look for appropriate products and market directions, down-to-earth, do technology development work, to be willing to invest in funds and personnel.
"Domestic other companies use AVP engines, if we happen before we introduce products, it is a matter of relevant domestic companies and software copyright owners, and it is necessary to carry out negotiations," Beijing Liuyiyang Technology Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Cai Pubei Said, "If such a thing in Merrow Yang introduces AVP products into China, Melgiyang will chase it, and now there is a complete and powerful legal backing in China."
Cai Puba said that the sales business of Merrowi Yang and trend products has been "disconnected" for a long time, but some of the use of trend products in China, users of the power systems and other industries, still insist on providing Merry Yang to provide professionalism. Anti-virus service. Now I'm exclusive agent Avp products, Russian name Kaspersky Anti-Virus, the Chinese name of the world is called "Kaspersky", the cooperative relationship confirmed between Miyiyang and the Russian Kaspersky Laboratory is close and firm of. The reason why Russian anti-virus software is very powerful because Russia has special talents and excellent traditions in the world of journalism in the world. These professionals can be successful in three years.
He said that Melgiyang Company and the Russian Kaspersky Labs are partners, Melgiyang sales AVP products, providing quality and professional services to domestic AVP users, and will fully maintain all the interests of AVP products, including copyright , Copyright, this has been protected by the Chinese government and Chinese law, and the copyright parties from all over the world also attach great importance to the power.
He further said that China's network security products have a large development space, hoping that domestic and foreign companies will work together. International leaders in China have patients with independent intellectual property rights, they have to be patient, and also look forward to better environmental protection of intellectual property rights, stronger basic mathematics research and continuous cultivation of more and more excellent special talents.
The main designer of the world's first packaged viral filter engine AV Leach, Antiy Labs General Engineer Zhao Zhigang believes that China's information security field is relatively late, if you want to catch overseas, it is not possible to make a car. It is necessary to learn, analysis and reference, which must include some means of reverse engineering. The idea is not protected by law, and it has been achieved by reverse engineering analysis mechanism, which is different from the plagiarism. Through cooperation, the introduction method directly improves the ability of the product, and it is also a good route, as long as it is not the direct stealing of the 2-way module, it is normal behavior.
Li Bo Pixin, a senior system programmer of Antiy Labs, pointed out that AVP is easily caused by "reference", not AVP existence of anti-virus engine vulnerability, but because AVP's entire engine and library and main procedures are completely separated, but also thousands The OBJ link file is ingenious, so others can also compile the OBJ file of AVP when compiling, which can only show that the structure of AVP is very good, so the static modules inside can be removed use.
Beijing Zhongfu Law Firm Zheng Yinghua said in an interview with CHINABYTE reporter that from legal basis, "domestic enterprises have not authorized to use foreign anti-virus engine" involved international private law, according to my country's current "copyright law", "computer software protection Regulations and the Multilateral International Treaty (especially the WTO-related Protocol) participated in the government and the bilateral treaties established with the government.
In general, the intellectual property crisis is not only a serious problem in China software industry, but also has a considerable crisis in China, such as high-definition color TV, DVD decoding technology.
From a technical point of view, if China's anti-virus software lacks its own independent intellectual property in core technology, this makes the development of Chinese anti-virus techniques to people.
It can be seen from two aspects "domestic enterprises have not authorized to steal foreign anti-virus engine":
First, in the case of abroad anti-virus engines, China's domestic enterprises have not authorized foreign antivirus engines that are not infringing, because foreign countries have a higher history of computer software, so this situation is very small.
Second, in the case of the abroad anti-virus engine (especially in China's domestic copyright), China's domestic enterprises have unauthorized infringement, and the relevant responsible people will undertake criminal responsibility when the foreign anti-virus engine is infringement.
Mr. Zheng believes that Chinese companies and foreign companies are still in vulnerable in intellectual property legal departments. On the one hand, in many fields have no own intellectual property rights, this makes Chinese companies inadequate; on the other hand, the legal awareness is not strong, do not pay attention to protection Your own intellectual property, such as copyright registration and take judicial relief. The most important way to avoid copyright disputes is to have copyright, on the one hand, to develop, own intellectual property rights; on the other hand, copyright can be purchased. Getting a reasonable copyright licensing contract is also an authority.
From the legal sense, Intellectual Property is always hanging at the sword of Damoches, which seriously restricts the development of China's software industry. In order to avoid the hidden dangers of leaving intellectual property disputes, the domestic enterprises must have the way in response to the hidden love behind the mystery. (Finish)
