Question

Ero Carrera is watching the computer screen in a lab in California as he tracks a new computer virus slowly circling the globe, targeting cell phones. Working from the US office of the Finnish computer1firm, Carrera knows this virus could be the start of something big and2. He’s one of a couple of hundred “virus hunters” worldwide who guard computers and cell phones from3. That’s the job for these unlikely action heroes of the Internet age, where quick and curious minds are more important than strong4.
Carrera works with Tzvetan Chaliavski to form the two-man team in California. Like that of other employees in the anti-virus companies in the world, their work is at the battle front of providing5from the damaging of computer virus, worms and Trojans. They break down software to discover a new virus and crack its code. Then they6and ship out a software update to customers. Roughly 300 new samples of viruses await the pair on a(n)7day.
Carrera has created a mathematical formula(公式), to8easily the software structure of viruses. With it, he is better able to compare the many variants(变种) and families of malware(恶意软件). To his9, Chaliavski, it doesn’t even matter why someone would create a virus. All that10is the hunt.
