Chapter 22: This Problem is Tricky (1/2)

At first, Zhao Qingfeng thought it was a very difficult problem.

But it turned out to be a situation that was both laughable and awkward.

As the computer booted up,

Pop-up windows sprang open like elementary school students at the end of class, bustling and jumping around.

On more than twenty web pages, each displayed different explicit images and GIF animations.

Even more irresistibly,

In the bottom right corner of the computer, a 3D blonde with blue eyes was walking on the status bar, occasionally blowing a kiss or lying down, with explicit parts unashamedly displayed.

It was infected.

A virus from adult websites.

At this moment, the rich young man of similar age to Zhao Qingfeng was already embarrassingly red-faced.

Li Kun was completely baffled.

He wondered why such a fuss over a simple adult website virus? Taking the computer to the tech city for a system reinstall would cost just a few tens of yuan. Why insist on fixing it at the appointed time, and even willing to pay a service fee of 3000 yuan?

It seemed that this young man was just a super fool with too much money to spend.

But that wasn’t the case.

Zhao Qingfeng, with his years of life experience, had already deduced that given the study’s calligraphy set and the collection of books on the large bookshelf, this was most likely the room of the young man’s elder, meaning the computer was not solely used by the young man, or they shared it.

And the reason for not wanting to take it out for repair and setting such a strict time was likely due to external factors, like the fear of family members discovering something.

After all, for an 18 or 19-year-old boy, browsing adult websites was always a dirty secret they wouldn’t want their families to find out.

Especially in a wealthy family, where the expectations for the children were extremely high, the young man certainly didn’t want to disappoint his hopeful family.

As he was thinking,

The phone in the study conveniently rang.

The young man hurried to answer it, holding the phone and pretending to be relaxed, “Mom, dad’s coming back soon, right? Great, I know, I’m not using the computer right now. Yes, don’t worry, he won’t find out you let me play games secretly. Okay, I’ll go downstairs to help him with his luggage later.”

When he hung up the phone, he was visibly nervous.

His forehead was sweaty, his face was flushed, and he was too anxious to be embarrassed or awkward, urging Zhao Qingfeng, “Master, please hurry up, you must restore the computer to its original state, remember not to delete any files, my dad is… well, just hurry up and fix it, I’ll go get the money for you.”

With that,

The young man hurriedly opened the door to check outside, and seeing no one, he dashed to another room to get money.

On his way out, he didn’t forget to lock the room from outside, afraid the nanny would discover there were strangers in the house.

Li Kun also became anxious, jokingly saying to Zhao Qingfeng, “Look at how serious this kid is, never thought such a refined person would like this stuff. Brother, can you fix it? From his attitude, his dad seems to be quite a big deal.”

Of course, Zhao Qingfeng knew.

After all, how could a family guarded by armed police be ordinary?

He didn’t respond.

First, he recalled the WINDOWS95 system in his mind.

It had been over twenty years since he used such an old system.

In his past life, it was either MACOS or LINUX.

Now, working with it felt somewhat unfamiliar.

But, each profession has its specialization.

It took Zhao Qingfeng less than a minute to locate the root of the problem.

It was just a worm virus popular around the year 2000, spreading through malicious web pages to drive traffic to adult websites. It could be easily removed by entering safe mode and completely deleting the source files from the registry.

“Master, how is it?”

Just as he sorted out his thoughts, the young man returned with a stack of money.

Li Kun stared eagerly; 3000 yuan was equivalent to four or five months of his salary.

His gaze, full of expectation, turned to Zhao Qingfeng, like the young man.

But Zhao Qingfeng shook his head and sighed, “It’s not easy to fix. Your computer is deeply infected, and the virus has spread to all folders. If we try to deal with it together, it might damage other files. If it can’t be fixed, we’ll have to reinstall the system.”

“What happens if you reinstall the system?”

The young man clearly didn’t know much about computers.

“To prevent the virus from spreading, all hard drives must be formatted, and all files will be lost. It’s like having a new computer.”
