15 days later.Tang Qin was sitting in his room, playing game on his Computer. He talking to his friend and also streaming his game-play.
He is what you call professional streamer. He play games and earn from them. You can say that playing games and streaming is how he makes a living. If he were to stop playing games, he die with hunger.
So when he was trying to ambush his enemy his Computer suddenly shut down.
What?
What happened!
Did I pressed a wrong key?
With that he checked but could not find anything wrong.
So he thought I might be a glitch. So he started the game again and apologized to his streamers that his Computer suddenly turned off don"t know why.
He started to play again but just after 10 min of his Computer being turned on, it was again off.
WTH is this?
He was frustrated. He turned on the Computer again but after 10 min same thing happened again.
He was now truly annoyed.
What trash Computer is this I paid $3000 for it and they still gave me trash Computer. He bought this COMPUTER just 5 days ago because his previous one was slow but now he was regretting it.
He took out his mobile from his pocket to announce on his forum that his COMPUTER was having issue and that he apologize to his fans for not being able to play.

But just when he opened the forum on his mobile, he noticed that many users there were complaining that there COMPUTER were turning on and off on their own and they could not do anything about it.
Tang Qin was not the only one who was facing this problem but many people around the World were facing this problem.
Many people posted in different forums that this was a virus attack and there was no anti-virus for it till now. All they could do for now is to reinstall the operating system but there is still a chance to get infected again.
In the headquarters many anti-virus companies, senior developers and programmers were having a meeting.
In the main meeting hall of 360 digital security, top senior expert gathered and were going through the data they had gathered.
According to the statistics, at least 3 million internet users were affected with this virus till now and were growing.
One expert stood and explained.
We have studied this virus and this is totally marvelous. We can"t even crack and when we tried to study it, our own Computers were affected so we had to study it while keeping it in a virtual s.p.a.ce which limits our tools.
But whoever mad it, is a genius. Because when we entered it signature in our data base to stop it from entering our network, it changed its signature on its own and bypa.s.sed our security.
It is duplicating itself at a large scale. When it detects that it"s being blocked, it will make 20 copies of it and each one will have a different signature.
After duplicating it will infect the host computer but before going into Restart loop it will send itself to all contact of the host email and website and all other accounts it can find.
At the rate it is growing there will be 5 million more infect computers after 24 hours and it will infect at least 60% Computers after a week or so.
Many of our programmers are currently working overtime to crack it code and make a anti-virus for it but we are having ma.s.sive difficulties because we don"t know what type of technology is used in it and to understand it we will need at least 2 to 3 weeks.
Having said all this, the expert sat down but all other had a glom on their faces.
Old Merg can"t you hurry because if other companies were to crack it first we would lose a ma.s.sive amount if users. The chairman spoke.
It"s not that we don"t want to, it"s just that we can"t and I can a.s.sure you that no one can solve it in less time than us unless they are its creator.
After hearing this Chairman contemplated a bit then nodded while saying "ok you try your best and crack it as fast as you can".
Same meetings happened in many internet security companies and all experts in those companies said the same thing.
3 days pa.s.sed and now statics showed that 30 million computers were affected from the virus and now many internet companies announce that they have progressed in cracking the code and that this virus is called "Hypnos" and was created by a group who called themselves "Seekers of Knowledge".
Now a quarter of the world was without Computers and many websites were down because their servers were also affected by the "Hypnos".
Many newspapers and media houses called this "The dark age of Digital World".
US had added "Seekers of Knowledge" to its most wanted list and called them terrorists.
While all the world was discussing about the counter measures of "Hypnos", the master mind behind all this was sitting in his room while furious typing on his laptop.
No one could ever think that the "Seekers of Knowledge" organization whom the whole world was looking for, It creator and sole member was a student who have just finished his 1st year in university.
He was currently modifying the anti-virus that he had made and was removing any similarities that it had with Hypnos he could think off from it so that he could sell it and earn money from it.
When he thought about how to earn money, this was most easy and fast way for him to earn money.
He knew if he were to sell it as it was, many would be able to see similarities it had with Hypnos and he would be caught and he knew after that his life would be miserable.
So he modified the program and removed any advance technologies he could think of because he wanted to give the feeling that he had developed this software just by a chance.
It was not a kill code for the Hypnos but more like a blocker which would stop it from infecting a computer but it can"t fix the already infected PC.
After developing the software now he had to think which company he should sell this too because he wanted to earn money legally so that he had a proof about how he got so much money when he starts a company.
After searching for a while he chose a company which he thought was the best.
