Zhang Weiqin that in the past antivirus model is that the virus found by anti-virus company engineers analytical virus samples, and then for the sample of the Signature uploaded to the virus, or regular users manually update the virus access to antivirus software upgrade Protection. Cloud and antivirus security architecture can really achieve from the antivirus industry to anti-virus changes, as long as the installation of a certain users access to a "sky" of antivirus software, Internet, antivirus software vendor based on the server side has been stored in massive virus The web page to determine which act is malicious, and even Trojans, and automatically remove. "This will enable user terminals become very easy, do not have to upgrade every day, because there is no need to re-occupation of antivirus software and memory and bandwidth."

But for cars, real estate, insurance, funds, and so the need for rational treatment products, consumers will compare repeatedly and carefully make decisions. "There is no doubt that for this type of consumer, the best way is through the Internet, through BT acts orientation, with different forms of advertising to meet the pre-visit to the characteristics of visitors to your dissemination of information, without interruption, the interface Lively and friendly manner with the potential of consumer information contacts, finally leading to the ultimate success of the transaction. "Zhou Xiang said that" rational consumers generally not easy to brand impressed by the display of advertisements, they are often more concerned about the quality of the product itself inherent characteristics. "
"In the near future, the professional auto site even appear IBM's server pop-up ads. And computers ads on flower sales site……, when you see these increditable changes, please not to be too surprised." Zhou Xiang said, "if the site which once wandered alone because of the dislocation of the content deliver platform service through the use of BT oriented network ads, all this will become a reality."
