What is a system vulnerability, why the system is often patched

  

System vulnerabilities may often hear the word, but some novice friends do not know what the system is? Simply put, system vulnerabilities are some of the operating system's potentially dangerous programs and components that may make your computer unsafe. Let's take a look at the knowledge about system vulnerabilities. What is the system vulnerability? The so-called system vulnerability is some unsafe components or applications that exist in the Microsoft Windows operating system. Hackers often exploit these system vulnerabilities, bypass firewalls, anti-virus software and other security protection software, and attack servers or computers that install Windows systems to control the purpose of the attacked computers. Some viruses or rogue software also exploit these system vulnerabilities to infect users' computers for widespread dissemination. These controlled computers, on the other hand, cause the system to run very slowly and fail to use the computer normally; in the worst case, the user's key information on the computer is stolen. What does it mean to patch? Patching a vulnerability is often referred to as patching. Microsoft officially publishes one or two vulnerability announcements every month, and provides patches to download and install source files, which can be downloaded and installed into the system. Because Windows system vulnerabilities are closely related to time. From the day of the release of a Windows system, as the user deepens, the vulnerabilities in the system will be exposed. These previously discovered vulnerabilities will also be constantly patched by the system vendor: Microsoft released patch software. Or corrected in a new version of the system that will be released in the future. While the new version of the system corrects vulnerabilities in the old version, it will introduce some new vulnerabilities and errors. As a result, old system vulnerabilities will disappear over time and new system vulnerabilities will continue to emerge. System vulnerabilities will also persist for a long time. So fixing system vulnerabilities is very necessary.
