Windows 7 is known as the most secure platform in the history of the Windows operating system, and in fact it is. I have been in close contact with the Windows 7 system for almost a year, and have not encountered serious security problems. In use, the related functions of Windows 7's own security settings have been greatly improved compared to XP and Vista systems, and various settings are also more abundant. Here we teach the system to carry out a number of security settings for the system overall layout line of defense, let your Windows7 more secure!
a strengthening Account Control, to create the first safety levels
say The primary security factor of this system is the account and password we log into the system and the control of the computer. User password settings in Windows 7 are much simpler, and the "Parental Controls" feature adds a variety of new features that are more versatile than previous systems.
with "pass" into the system
Although adding to the system login password for the master, nothing disorder, but it is undeniable for most people, can still play Protected, otherwise anyone can use the computer at any time. We can also add low-privileged users to Windows 7 as needed for others to use, thus adding the first line of defense to the system.
first step: Click "Start → Control Panel", then click the "Add or remove user accounts" under the "User Accounts and Family Safety" dialog box appears, click "Create a new account ", enter the account name, select "Standard User", and finally click the "Create Account" button to create a new account.
Step Two: Click the "average user" to enter the account setup screen, click "Create a Password" button to enter the password, and then click the "Create Password" button. This method adds passwords to all accounts in the system, especially administrator-level accounts. In this way, after selecting the account after booting, you must enter a password to log in to the system.
"Parental Controls" to use good
"Parental Control" literally is available to parents to use, so that parents can use the computer for children all-round monitoring, to put an end to the computer network The negative impact of the child. The author believes that "parental control" is just the name that Microsoft has in order to reflect the monitoring function. It essentially reflects the relationship between management and management, and is a kind of authority control. With good parental control, you can achieve powerful account management and monitoring. Here we set up parental controls for “ordinary users”.
Step one: Open Control Panel, click "User Accounts and Family Safety" option, then click the "Parental Control" switch interface, click the "average user", then the system will prompt all The administrator-level account setting password, after setting, enter the parental control interface, select the "Enable, apply current settings" option.
Step Two: Click the "time limit" button to switch interface, where to divide the week and time period, the time period in hours, represents a certain time of day of the week, click in the box to When the blue color is used, the current time cannot be turned on. When the square is white, it is the boot time. Finally, click the "OK" button to complete the setting. Through time restrictions, we can easily control the time spent by ordinary users.
Step Three: Click "Allow and block specific programs" and then select "Ordinary users can only use the programs I allow", then the software will detect available in the system, the software is checked Can be used, for example: daily word processing will use Office, then check the program under Office, for some programs that are not retrieved, click the "Browse" button to manually add, and finally click the "OK" button. In this way, when the user is using the program that is not allowed, the system will prompt “Parental control has blocked this program”. If you want to get the program permission, just click the “Please ask the administrator for permission” button on the prompt box, enter the management. The administrator password provided by the administrator can be used.
two, four important security settings to set a good
patch, set the security level, these functions are in XP and Vista, Windows7 this series more feature-rich. The choice of patches is more diverse, the security level settings are divided into four levels (Vista is only on and off), and automatic playback controls and enhanced anti-spyware tools are provided to make the system itself more secure.
"mend" any piece of software to ensure safety
inevitably flawed, Windows naturally no exception, in order to plug the loopholes, Microsoft has been doing this mend Things. Although Windows 7 security has been greatly improved, it is still not to be overlooked to fix the vulnerability at any time.
Tip: Use a third-party tool to update the system
In addition to using the system comes with updates patch the system, we can also use some third-party tools (such as: 360 security guards, Kaka Internet security assistants, etc.) to patch the system for vulnerabilities. For Windows 7 obtained through abnormal channels, it is best not to install all Windows 7 updates, otherwise the system may be identified as pirated and need to be activated before it can be used. Third-party tools can be used to selectively download and install updates.

Tips: UAC security level from high to low is divided into: Always notice, only attempt to notify me of changes to my computer in the program, only when Notify me when programs try to change the computer (not reduced Desktop brightness), never notice. The higher the security level, the more frequently the UAC function's dialog box will pop up, which may cause inconvenience. Between safety and convenience, you can choose as needed.
you click the "Start" button, type UAC in the "search box" press the Enter key, open the "User Account Control Settings" window, here are four levels of security protection, drag the slider At the very top, this is the safest setting, and the system will notify you before the program makes changes to your computer or Windows settings (requires administrator privileges) and the desktop will be dimmed. You can perform other operations on your computer only by accepting or rejecting the request in the UAC dialog box. A darkened desktop is called a secure desktop, and other programs cannot run when the desktop is dimmed.
demand set AutoPlay feature
Windows comes with the system auto-play feature that automatically perform certain actions (such as: autoplay CD, video, etc.). Although this will be more convenient, it also brings security risks. We can set it in a targeted manner and use the auto play function as needed.
