Windows systems are far less secure than Linux or Mac systems, which is probably the most common argument. Is the security of Windows systems really so vulnerable? Not necessarily! With the release of Windows 7, the security situation will be further improved, and it is expected to get rid of the reputation of Windows system insecurity. It is understood that professionals also said: Windows7 may or may not be the greatest operating system ever, but it is definitely the safest operating system ever. Why do you say this?
1.
protect the core kernel is the core Caozuojitong, which also makes it a prime target for malicious software and other attacks. Basically, if an attacker can access or manipulate the kernel of an operating system, they can execute malicious code at a level that other applications and even the operating system itself cannot detect. Microsoft developed "kernel mode protection" to protect the core and ensure that unauthorized access does not occur.
In addition to protecting the kernel, Microsoft launched after WindowsXP also made some other fundamental improvements to protect Caozuoxitong. Many attacks are based on the attacker's ability to know the location of a particular function or command that resides in memory, or to perform an attack on files that may only contain data.
Address Space Layer Randomization (ASLR) feature by key Caozuojitong will be randomly distributed in memory, the attacker can stop them if they hesitated to attack from where. Microsoft has also developed Data Execution Prevention (DEP) to prevent files of any type that may contain data or files stored in the data area from executing any type of code.
2. safer web browsing
Windows7 comes with the latest and most powerful current web browser version of IE8. You can also download and run IE8 on other versions of the Windows operating system, so it is not specific to Windows 7, but it does bring some security improvements.
First, InPrivate browsing mode provides the ability to privacy online, like inprivate (privately) the name as it reveals. When you launch an InPrivate browser window, IE does not save any information about your personal web surfing. This means that the information you enter is not stored in the cache, and there is no historical information to record the websites you have visited. This feature is especially useful when you are using IE8 on a shared or public computer (such as in a library). Improvements in security
IE8 is another protected mode. The implementation of protected mode is based on the security components of Windows 7, which ensure that malicious or unauthorized code is not allowed to run on the browser. Protected Mode prevents drive-by download attacks, which enables the user will be able to install malicious software to your system
3. protection (Protection) when you visit a compromised website, let us love hate intertwined things
user account control (UAC) is on WindowsVista let us all a love-hate model. UAC still exists when using Windows 7, but Microsoft has added a control slider that allows you to control the level of protection provided by UAC - thus limiting the number of pop-ups to the number of files allowed to be accessed and executed. .
UAC pop-ups can do is just be seen in a very small aspect. Under Windows Vista, many users simply disable all UACs, but that also turns off protected mode IE and some other operating system protection. The slider under Windows 7 is set to the same protection as Windows Vista by default, but you can customize it under the control panel.
