In the instant chat column of Kingsoft secret protection, QQ is found, and the icon corresponding to QQ is gray. The author's QQ is a green version and has not been identified by Kingsoft secret protection. But it doesn't matter. You just need to double-click the icon corresponding to QQ in Kingsoft secret protection to set the QQ protection on your own. Kingsoft secret protection also provides support for several popular online modified versions of QQ. After QQ is added, Kingsoft security automatically performs program security verification to check the security of the added software. I think this function is very important. We can try to avoid using password protection to protect virus-infected programs, just as we can avoid shutting down mice in the granary.

After setting the QQ installation directory, you can directly run QQ in Kingsoft secret protection. If you check running on the secure desktop when adding a program, and when you start QQ, it automatically starts and switches to the security desktop of Kingsoft secret protection.

Security desktop: Security desktop is a special way to process desktops in Windows, programs running on the primary desktop cannot perform regular attack operations on the programs running in the special protected area, and it is difficult to use forged windows on the security desktop to attack users like phishing. Every program that is added to the security desktop will first pass online monitoring through Kingsoft trusted authentication technology, and be sure that it is a known security program before it can be accepted into the security desktop. Kingsoft security's "Secure Desktop" Mode opens up an independent space for users to protect against viruses and viruses.

Because of the security desktop features, you can play online games with confidence in the security desktop. You do not have to worry about hacking trojans when using online banking, kingsoft secret protection also places the online banking shortcut key in the security desktop by default, and the programs you set to run on the security desktop can be found on the security desktop. If you want to switch back to the system desktop, right-click the Security desktop icon (or double-click the left button) and choose to switch to the master desktop. In the same way, you can switch from the primary desktop to secure the desktop. Users who are familiar with Linux may get used to multi-desktop operations. However, for common windows users, multi-desktop functions may cause inconvenience. Especially for beginners, the secure desktop function will bring users some trouble, because there is no clear instructions on how to exit the secure desktop when switching to the desktop installation, and there is no prompt to exit the security protection system, the computer cannot be shut down or restarted without a Start Menu. We hope that Kingsoft can add a clear switch button in the security desktop taskbar to facilitate users.

If you think it is inconvenient to switch to a secure desktop, you can find a program that does not need to run on the secure desktop in Kingsoft secret protection, right-click it, and select Settings, remove the safe desktop running option shown in Figure 4. Don't worry, as long as you run the QQ program in Kingsoft secret protection, even if you are not on the secure desktop, Kingsoft secret protection is protecting your QQ.

You can right-click the program icon and choose "use password protection" to protect password security.

In order to test Kingsoft secret protection, I used a new QQ Trojan horse in my computer, and then run QQ in Kingsoft secret protection. As a result, Kingsoft Secret Protection immediately issued an injection warning, I tested and entered the QQ account and password, and then logged on normally. Next, the author queries the mailbox of the QQ account theft Trojan to receive the password, and finds no report email of the QQ account theft Trojan. It can be seen that Kingsoft security has successfully intercepted the QQ account theft Trojan's monitoring of the QQ password.

Experience

The security of Kingsoft secret protection adds a security wall for the security of user accounts, which can defend against detection of user accounts by Trojan horses in real time, but does not provide clear guidelines for interception, the prompt suddenly leaves the netizens at a loss, hoping to provide information on the risk level of the corresponding program behavior and the netizens to help them identify whether the program is vulnerable to injection. The concept of Secure Desktop is very practical, but convenience still needs to be improved for users.
