One million Chinese computers get holiday bug
Viruses wreaked havoc on at least 1 million personal computers during the weeklong National Day holiday, according to Jiangmin Co, a leading Chinese anti-virus company.
The company's monitoring system detected that more than 118,000 computers crashed on Oct. 6 alone.
"Viruses have been extremely active during the long vacation because more people chose to stay at home and surf the Internet, shopping online or playing online games," He Gongdao, an anti-virus expert at Jiangmin, said on Monday.
