China Malware War Gets Personal
,----[ Quote ]
| Malware, Malware Everywhere
|
| The Chinese Internet is awash with toolbars and other browser plug-ins
| that install themselves, resist easy removal, constantly redirect page
| requests, and generate pop-up ads. While they're huge annoyances for users,
| they're also big business.
|
| "The malware market is huge in China," said a Qihoo manager who spoke
| on condition of anonymity. "Companies make tens of millions of
| renminbi [yuan] in ad revenue. There's a whole ecosystem of malware in
| China, and many PC users aren't aware of its harm."
