A leading Chinese anti-virus company said on Thursday that more
than 1.4 million computers nationwide were affected by viruses
during the week-long Labor Day holiday.
According to statistics from Kingsoft, 1,421,198 computers were
affected during the holiday, about a third more than during the
same period last year.
"Most of the computers were affected by Trojan viruses because
more Internet users play online games or shop online during the
holidays," said Dai Guangjian, an anti-virus specialist with the
company.
The Trojan viruses steal passwords of users' online gaming or
banking services, said Dai.
