Win7之家（ afsion.com.cn）：安全公司稱Win 7 Beta可能存在安全問題

 一家安全軟件公司近期向通過BT網(wǎng)站下載Windows 7 Beta的用戶發(fā)出了警告，稱該版本中包含一個(gè)嚴(yán)重漏洞，很有可能導(dǎo)致計(jì)算機(jī)感染惡意軟件。

該公司職員Fortify’s Rob Rachwald 稱“該版本的問題在于沒有任何方法可以保證在發(fā)布到網(wǎng)上之前，黑客沒有在2.44G大的文件內(nèi)寫入惡意軟件代碼。”

改公司還指出在Windows 7上市前，很難有效掃描用戶計(jì)算機(jī)內(nèi)是否有病毒，也很難保證用戶使用的安全軟件可以在Windows 7上真正有效工作。甚至于如果確實(shí)有黑客修改過此版本的話，他們很有可能會(huì)通過Windows關(guān)閉這些安全軟件。

好在目前為止，還沒有任何用戶報(bào)告稱發(fā)現(xiàn)了安全問題。但不管怎樣，F(xiàn)ortify’s Rob Rachwald 的建議還是有道理的。

附部分原文：

A security software firm has warned against downloading the pirated copies of the Windows 7 beta that are available through torrent sites. It says there’s a serious risk of copies being infected with malware.

Fortify’s Rob Rachwald (pictured) says “The problem with this version is that there’s absolutely no way of authenticating that the early build hasn’t been tampered with by a hacker. They may have coded all sorts of malware into the 2.44 gigabytes file.”

The firm also points out that it’s particularly difficult to check a pirated operating system for viruses when it isn’t yet on the market. It’s not the same as downloading a program and running it in XP or Vista. By definition there’s no guarantee that your usual virus scanner will actually work when you come to run the pirated Windows 7. And if anyone has tampered with this copy of the operating system, chances are they’ve also disabled the security measures built into Windows itself.
