安全公司称Win 7 Beta可能存在安全问题

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：安全公司称Win 7 Beta可能存在安全问题

 一家安全软件公司近期向通过BT网站下载Windows 7 Beta的用户发出了警告，称该版本中包含一个严重漏洞，很有可能导致计算机感染恶意软件。

该公司职员Fortify’s Rob Rachwald 称“该版本的问题在于没有任何方法可以保证在发布到网上之前，黑客没有在2.44G大的文件内写入恶意软件代码。”

改公司还指出在Windows 7上市前，很难有效扫描用户计算机内是否有病毒，也很难保证用户使用的安全软件可以在Windows 7上真正有效工作。甚至于如果确实有黑客修改过此版本的话，他们很有可能会通过Windows关闭这些安全软件。

好在目前为止，还没有任何用户报告称发现了安全问题。但不管怎样，Fortify’s Rob Rachwald 的建议还是有道理的。

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.
