Windows 7 XP mode can stop malware from running

  
        Windows XP's XP mode is very secure when running Office 2003 (virtual machine) and Office 2007 (locally running), capable of destroying malware running and interrupting many hacking tools. This is actually an unexpected benefit, but the benefits are definitely welcome. No computer system is completely secure. There are also insecure issues in even the most secure systems, such as security holes in operating system code. This means that Windows 7 is more secure than its predecessor Windows operating system.

you may not have heard when a security vulnerability exposure time, Windows7 like OSX operating systems should be carefully reviewed. Microsoft recently discovered a security vulnerability in the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 release candidates. This security vulnerability in Windows SMB (Server Message Block) 2 has not been exploited by hackers, but Microsoft warned. A hacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can take complete control of a user's computer. Most attempts to exploit this vulnerability will cause the affected computer to stop responding and restart.

Microsoft has released security measures around this vulnerability. Microsoft said that the security vulnerability has been fixed in Windows 7RTM and Windows Server 2008 R2. Some of Microsoft's best security features in Windows 7 are almost unintentional and have not been widely publicized.

PureWire company PaulRoyal in SC Magazine recently published a report, Windows7 is by far the most secure Windows operating system. He said that many attackers have difficulty finding attack routes, such as social engineering conspiracy.

security Windows7 is mainly due to the operating system patches route inject malicious code into memory. In addition, Windows 7 XP mode may make attackers more headaches. The XP mode is implemented using hardware virtualization extensions. The commonly used hacking tool rootkits also rely on hardware virtualization and a special privilege level called VMX root mode. Since Windows 7 now uses hardware virtualization, attempts by hackers to exploit hardware virtualization have failed. Therefore, a common hacker rootkit tool "BluePill" does not work correctly in Windows 7. In addition, the XP mode of Windows 7 can also destroy the operation of many malware.
