Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser (IE) has long been the target of hackers' favorite, and the newly discovered security weaknesses have emerged over the years, just to make hackers even worse. In fact, Microsoft has been researching a new security vulnerability that has not yet been patched in recent days, which may expose users to the danger of cyber attacks. At the same time, the popularity of the Firefox browser has provided an alternative to computer users - so far millions of people have chosen to try. Although Firefox also inevitably has its own security issues to face, Firefox's default installation environment is quite secure and does not support ActiveX control components that often cause security issues. So, if patching IE security vulnerabilities has made you fed up, how do you remove or remove Internet Explorer? If you are using Windows 2000 or XP operating system, the following is a mixed message: The bad news is that Remove IE, your Windows will inevitably become a crappy operating system. But the good news is that you can turn off IE for users and switch to another browser. There are several simple and common ways to turn off the user's ability to browse the web with IE. The simplest one is to add a fake proxy server to IE's Internet Settings. Please follow the steps below: Go to IE and select "Tools" - "Internet Options". Press the "Connections" tab and click the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" button. A dialog box will pop up, select the following box in the proxy server project: Use a proxy server on your local area network (these settings will not be applied to dial-up or VPN connections). Enter "0.0.0.0" in the URL text field. Enter "80" in the Connection field and click "OK". Please note that adding a fake proxy server to your internet settings will not affect the automatic Windows Update connection and update the functionality of your operating system. You can also limit your Internet settings through the Group Policy. Follow the steps below: On your domain controller, right-click on the organization unit containing the domain user and select Properties (PropertIEs). On the Group Policy tab, tap Edit. Expand User Configuration to set limits for individual users. Expand Windows Settings and expand Internet Explorer maintenance. Select "Connection" and then double the Proxy Settings. Select the box for "Enable Proxy Settings", add "0.0.0.0" to the HTTP field, and click "OK". Expand Administrative Templates and then expand Windows Components. Select Internet Explorer and double-click "Disable Changing Proxy Settings". Select "Enabled" and then click "OK". Remember, "Enabled" sets a certain limit, and "Disabled" prevents a restriction from being applied to a group of users (even if you open it for a wider group of users). "Not Configured" does not preset any restrictions. Before you take any step, download another browser and test it in your current configuration configuration. I highly recommend using Mozilla's Firefox. After installing a new browser, answer "yes" when asked if you want to treat it as a default browser. The last 叮咛
No matter how many patches Microsoft releases, as long as there is ActiveX and Browser Helper Object - a file loaded with IE - hackers can control your system and steal yours data. Microsoft designed IE to perform various functions instead of focusing on security. Even with anti-virus software, you can't defend your network from IE. The so-called Windows security is not to eliminate security vulnerabilities, but to see the risk management of the move and give the user the desired function. All operating systems have weaknesses, but the popularity of usage makes Windows the preferred target for most Black Hats.
