Default security comparison Windows7 is not as good as Vista

  
                

As security issues continue to affect Windows users around the world, you can see that the information security risks facing Windows 7 are getting worse. Eliminating a security threat a few years ago is easier than it is today. As more and more computer users' personal information is stolen by hackers, the risks are increasing. So what is the security of win 7? There have been technicians who analyzed the security of Windows 7 and thought that Windows 7 is not as secure in some respects as Windows Vista. Is this news reliable?

Recently, Raimund Genes, chief technology officer of Trend Micro, said that Windows 7 is indeed better than Windows Vista in terms of performance. It doesn't require too strong hardware configuration to get good results, but this surface improvement actually The above is reduced by the security requirements, at least Windows 7 security in the default configuration is to lose to Windows Vista. Raimund Genes later said in an interview with the media that his above statement does not mean that Windows 7 is not safe, but rather relative to Windows Vista.

Raimund Genes also exemplifies that in Windows 7 settings, the user account control UAC (User Account Control) version is lower than Windows Vista, and the system does not have any prompt upgrade instructions. In addition, Windows 7 does not have any system prompts when installing the anti-virus killer security software, which makes the user feel very unsafe. However, other security experts have different opinions. For example, for UAC, in Windows Vista, this feature is always overly sensitive, and pop-up prompts will not be heard. Many users will choose to turn it off, and British security expert Ed Gibson UAC is crowned with the title "User Annoyance Control".

Raimund Genes finally said that Windows 7 is not as secure as Windows Vista. This is not a negation, but a description of the actual situation. When the developers of the operating system are developing functions, they are safe. ” and "practical"; always have to make some discretion, and in most cases, "utility" will become the final benchmark, the result is a reduction in security, but in most cases The consequences are not serious, after all, the operating system has been dynamically updated.

Xiao Bian thinks that this is also the sale of win 7 after the various sounds are also swarming, both good and questionable.
