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.

They break down software to discover a new virus and crack its code. Then they   26   and ship out a software update to customers. Roughly 300 new samples of viruses await the pair on a(n)  27   day.

    Carrera has created a mathematical formula(公式), to   28   easily 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 his   29  , Chaliavski, it doesn’t even matter why someone would create a virus. All that   30   is the hunt.
