Government facility in 3 months to Clean Malwares from Mobiles, PCs
Government is setting up a centre that will detect malicious programmes like 'botnets' and help device owners remove such harmful softwares for free. "We are setting up 'botnet' cleaning and malware analysis centre within three months.
It will automatically detect botnets that trigger various cyber crimes and suggest the device owner to remove it from their device with help of our facility," IT Secretary R S Sharma told PTI.

The project is a part of Digital India programme and aims to create safe and secure cyber space, Sharma said. The centre is being set up with an outlay of about Rs 100 crore and national cyber security watchdog Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (ICERT) has selected vendor for the same.
Botnet is a network of malicious softwares that can steal information, take control of device function and carry out cyber attacks like Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) that prevent access of websites.

Explaining operational details of the centre, ICERT Director General B J Srinath said, "We will take help of internet service providers (ISP) to execute it.
The owner of infected device will get message from ISP about the infection. The person can remove it by downloading a solution from CERT website.
It will not cost anything to them." "We have also notified e-mail policy and working on details of its implementation. This policy is aimed at making official communication safe," he said.
The e-mail policy bars government officials from using service of private companies like gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc for official communications.
This policy idea was mooted by the Department of Electronics and IT after whistleblower Edward Snowden claimed that US intelligence agencies secretly monitored Internet data to spy on various countries, including India with the help of some software and Internet companies.
The government has approved Rs 98.2 crore to strengthen the email infrastructure that will provide for 50 lakh email ids for government users across the country.
Sharma said that within a year, the government will fill most of the gaps in cyber security and efforts to further strengthen it will continue.
Talking about semiconductor plants that were approved in February 2014, Sharma said that the government has done its job and is waiting for industry to revert with detailed project report to proceed further.
"They (consortium) gave us DPR but we asked them to improve some of the gaps. We are waiting for their response," Sharma said.
