Windows XP System Taboo: Turn on Default Sharing and Remote Assistance

Avoid opening default sharing and remote assistance

Because XP is part of the Microsoft .NET strategy, many network features are turned on by default. For example: share your drive, remotely solve Windows operation problems through the network, and so on. These network functions may be very convenient for people who know how to do it, but for beginners who don't have enough knowledge about network security, there is a certain danger, because sharing the drive and allowing remote assistance is the need to open the port of your computer and open it. Permissions, although XP has its own firewall, but if you encounter a clever virus or a malicious hacker, these services may also expose you to data loss or compromise.

People who are not familiar with network security knowledge are advised to turn off sharing and remote assistance if they do not need to access the LAN.
