There are a lot of free software on the Internet, and for people who are not good at English, they will definitely want to find free software that supports Chinese, but they have to be careful when searching. A while ago, a YouTuber tested 5 Chinese rogue software (also (called malware), not only the browser homepage is kidnapped, but other software is also stolen on the computer, and even the CPU and RAM resources are heavily occupied. In the worst case, it may not be possible to maintain 100% usage at all times, and there are also There is anti-virus software...
YouTuber actually tested the clean system and installed 5 Chinese rogue software
Zero Degree Commentary YouTube channel shared a video a while ago "Don't install these five most rogue software! Otherwise, there will be unexpected things "Consequences" video, the five softwares are "2345 Browser, Kingsoft Internet Security, Driver Wizard, Sogou Input Method and 360 Guardian".
In order to fully expose the rogue capabilities of these software, they used the cleanest Windows 10 system To test, first install the 2345 browser. Zero Degree Commentary also mentioned that not only the browser, but also the software of the 2345 Family Bucket is actually very rogue, such as viewing pictures, easy pressure, etc., but this time we will test the browser:
After the installation is completed and opened, the homepage of the IE browser is hijacked into the 2345 website, but I think it is normal. After all, the default homepage of Chrome is also Google search, and the 2345 browser homepage is set to the 2345 website. Reasonable. I don’t know whether it has touched the homepage of the built-in Edge browser in Windows:
The second set of anti-virus software Kingsoft Antivirus is quite special. After downloading the installation file from the official website and executing it, it still works. The current installation package version is too low and requires another download of a new version. It feels like I am trying to escape something:
Even more embarrassing is that this package is obviously an anti-virus software, but Windows Defender detected a threat during the installation process. Blocking:
In order to continue testing, they turned off Windows Defender:
It can also be found during installation that this set will also automatically install the software manager secretly behind the scenes:
Then check the IE homepage, and you will be kidnapped to the website of Kingsoft Antivirus:
The amazing thing is that even the homepage of the 2345 browser is also kidnapped, and the opening speed is obviously much slower:
The third set of driver wizards will secretly install iQiyi and Cheetah Safe Browser behind the scenes:
If the fourth set of Sogou input method has a check mark for user experience, your information may be sold. For third-party advertising companies. Although this system will also kidnap the homepage and install other software, it should not be affected if you cancel the check mark on the installation completion screen:
The last 360 Guardian is the most rogue, not only It can block the settings of the previous sets of software, and will also install the 360 browser, and there will also be pop-up full-screen advertisements (when your computer is idle):
Check the CPU usage at this time, and it remains at 100 % high-end, RAM is 50%, and he does almost nothing:
Full video:
Overall:
234 Browser will Change the home page
Kingsoft Antivirus will change the home page, install the software butler
Driver Wizard will install iQiyi, Cheetah Browser
Sogou Input Method will sell user information, change the home page, install Sogou Browser
360 Guard will block all settings of the previous software and install 360 Browser
So, you really need to pay more attention when looking for free software on the Internet. After you install it, you feel that the computer settings seem to have been changed or unknown. The software or the homepage becomes kidnapped. Basically, there is a big problem with this software.
