单选题In a step that should help make the Internet safer for consumers, anti-virus giant Symantec on Wednesday will introduce a protection system designed to anticipate new ill-meaning programs that try to steal onto your computer. For decades, anti-virus protection has worked by reacting to new ill-meaning programs. Researchers rush to identify bad code, then create and distribute filters for it. But cybercriminals have got so fast at escaping the latest filters that protection often comes too late. Symantec"s new system, called Quorum, continuously predicts whether any new program that attempts to run on your PC is good or bad. It then takes steps to isolate the bad code. "We"re closing a major gap the bad guys have been using to deriver their ill-meaning software," says Rowan Trollope, senior vice president of consumer products. Symantec becomes the fourth major anti-virus firm—and the largest—to add predictive capabilities to traditional reactive anti-virus systems. Since February, McAfee, Panda Security and Trend Micro have introduced similar predictive technologies. Computer infections most often spread when a PC user clicks on an altered Web link that arrives in an e-mall or social-network message, or appears in search results for questions on Google, Bing and Yahoo Search. What"s more, millions of lawful Web pages—unknowingly altered by hackers—can also infect a PC during a page visit. Cybercriminals use infected PCs to spread junk e-mails, steal data and hijack online banking accounts. Infections can change hourly, forcing anti-virus firms to create and deliver thousands of filters each day. "The amount of ill-meaning software produced today has required all of us to change the approach we take in combating it," says Trend Micro senior manager Jon Clay. Trend began offering predictive protection to business customers in May. A consumer version is due next year. "There is a natural evolution taking place," says Mike Gallagher, chief technology officer for McAfee, which roiled out its Artemis system for consumers and businesses in February. Symantec introduces Quorum in its new Norton Internet Security 2010 system for consumers priced at $70 for a one-year subscription; McAfee"s consumer subscription is priced similarly. Panda Security"s free consumer version of its Panda Cloud anti-virus product has been out since April.

单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} Dinkum's informed their workforce last week that in a desperate attempt to save jobs, they would move over to a job-share system. Rather than face unemployment, their workers are being offered the chance to work on a half-time basis where two people will share the responsibility of one. "We're giving our workers a choice. They can take redundancy if they prefer but if they want to stay with us, we can only offer them half their previous earnings," said a spokesman for the factory. Beryl Harris, 47, is one of the many workers who have opted for the job-share arrangement. "I know what it's like to be unemployed. I've watched my husband lose his self-respect in these last two years."Sunnington has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Ron has been looking for work since Dinkum's broke the news to him two and a half years ago. "I've probably applied for more than a hundred jobs: as a laborer, a watchman and so on and I even tried to get a job as a dustman once--bnt nobody wants a guy of my age." Ron's experience is not uncommon. "The streets are full of broken men and the employment exchange is one of the worst places imaginable." Ron and Beryl are already starting to worry about whether their two teenage children will find work when they leave school. "It's bad enough with two of us trying to keep busy at home in the afternoons now but I have nightmares thinking about four of us without jobs," says Beryl. When asked what they think of Dinkum' s new job-share plan, Ron and Beryl Were in agreement. "At least they're trying to find a solution. It' s not their fault that this government of this country has made such a mess of things. Anything's better than living on state benefit and waking up every day without anything to do." Ron recalled cases of an unemployed man committing suicide in a nearby town. "I can see why he did it but I'll never get to that stage." It's a widely recognized problem that people who do not work can become severely depressed and listless.
