Beware of the computer viruses that are prevalent in July.

The National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and the National Engineering Laboratory for Computer Virus Prevention and Control have captured the following computer virus programs through the National Computer Virus Collaborative Analysis Platform and summarized the characteristics of prevalent computer viruses in July 2026 as follows: 1. First, they imitate mainstream popular software. The targets of imitation are extremely broad, covering a wide range of popular software, including instant messaging, software installation, office applications, web browsing, online shopping, online gaming, and artificial intelligence. 2. Second, they counterfeit so-called "activation tools." They imitate pirated operating system activation tools, clearly targeting new installation users or user reinstallation. 3. Third, they imitate official documents. The "Silver Fox" series of Trojan viruses continue to use sensitive human resources topics such as "layoffs" and "violations" to forge official documents and deceive users. 4. Fourth, they imitate summer training and education applications. Multiple variants of mobile and PC Trojan viruses disguise themselves as summer training and education software and are specifically disseminated to parents and students. A wide range of computer users can retrieve detailed information and upload suspicious files for detection through the National Computer Virus Collaborative Analysis Platform. It is recommended that network administrators strengthen their computer virus prevention measures based on the characteristics of the related files.
