From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.
Vietnam's information, communications and technology industries have grown quickly over the past 10 years. The Vietnamese government has high hopes for the future, it wants the country to become a center for Information Technology Services in the years to come.
But to capture its share of the knowledge economy, experts say Vietnam will have to do more to deal with cyber security issues.
FILE - Vietnamese people work with computers at a media center in Hanoi.
One major problem is malicious computer software, known as malware. Malware programs are used to damage computer operations, steal information or gain entry to private computer systems.
Michael Mudd is Chair of the Information Technology, Intellectual property and Telecommunications Committee at the American Chamber of Commerce. He says Vietnam is among the top five suppliers of malware and spam messages in the world. He says the country is facing a crisis, mainly because of lack of knowledge about the issue.
"In the countries that have been involved in IT for longer, they are more aware of anti-virus programs. Everywhere I go in Vietnam, I look in places and offices and stuff like this, and hardly any computer, apart from the very big ones, are protected by any anti-virus program at all," he explained.
Wahab Yusoff is an official with McAfee, the computer software company. He says the issue of malware is a very reactive one, you do not do anything until it hits you.
"I think the awareness is increasing, but there's a sense of laissez faire -- I'm not being affected, I would be hit by it. But the awareness is increasing. But compared to Singapore, it's a much smaller country and community, I think it's less," said Yusoff.
The use of pirated software is one of the main ways malware can infect computers systems.
The Business Software Alliance says about 81 percent of the computers in Vietnam use pirated copies of software programs. Michael Mudd says infected computers could take up to 20 percent of available bandwidth, causing major economy loses.
To deal with the problem, he says, Vietnam does not need more "antivirus scientists with four-year college degrees." He says the country instead needs an army of IT experts who can care for computer systems and remove malware already loaded in the machines.
Mr Mudd says education about cyber security should start early, even at school age. He says this will help people understand the value of investing in legitimate software and antivirus programs.

这里是美国之音慢速英语科技报道。
越南的信息、通讯和科技业过去10年来发展迅速，越南政府对未来满怀希望，希望该国未来几年成为信息技术中心。
但为了获得知识经济的那块蛋糕，专家说越南必须在互联网安全问题上做更多努力。
一个重要问题是恶意电脑软件，也就是流氓软件。这种程序用来破坏计算机操作，盗取信息，或进入私人计算机系统。
迈克尔·穆德是美国商务部信息技术、知识产权和电信委员会主席，他说越南是全世界恶意软件和垃圾信息的前五名提供者，他说该国面临异常危机，主要是因为缺少对该问题的了解。
“在我多年来从事IT的国家中，很多国家都意识到反病毒程序。在越南无论去哪里，我都在办公室等地方看到这些东，除了大型计算机外，几乎没有哪台计算机得到什么反病毒软件的保护。”
Wahab Yusoff是电脑软件公司McAfee的一名高管，他说恶意软件问题很容易发生，你什么都没做也能被感染。
“我认为这种意识在增长，但存在着自由放任，认为自己不会被感染。但这种意识在增强，不过与新加坡这个更小的国家和社会相比，这还是不够的。”
使用盗版软件是使得恶意软件感染电脑系统的一个主要愿意。
商业软件联盟称越南81%的电脑使用盗版电脑软件，迈克尔·穆德说感染的电脑占20%的带宽，导致重大的经济损失。
他说，为了解决这个问题，越南不需要“有四年大学学历的反病毒科学家”。他说这个国家需要一支能维护电脑系统并移除电脑已经下载的恶意软件的IT专家团队。
穆德说对网络安全的教育要趁早，甚至从上学开始。他说这将帮助人们了解投资合法软件和反病毒软件的意义。
