Pay attention to Microsoft Windows7 Security performance

A focus on Microsoft Windows7 Security!

New firewall Features

Windows7 firewall under the biggest feature is both inside and outside the defense, through the Homeorworknetworks and publicnetworks to the internal and external network protection.

Advanced Setup projects are also more comprehensive, through the inbound and the rules of the game can clearly outline the current network flow situation, and for the operation of the profile and the introduction of the strategy has a greater promotion. Believe that after the update upgrade, WINDOWS7 Firewall will have greater use.

Ii. the Centre for Action

Windows7 removed the Security Center (SecurityCenter), which was originally launched with WindowsXPSP2, and switched to a behavior center (actioncenter). Here the bread contains safety center; problems, reports and solutions; Windowsdefender; Windowsupdate;diagnostics Network Access Protection, backup and Reply (Backupandrestore), Recovery (Recovery), and UAC mentioned above.

After entering the behavior center, WINDOWS7 supports fast scanning of local computers with Windowsdefender. We in Lenovo T61 Notebook scan system disk, time is only 33 seconds, scanning resources up to 34,931, although it is not good to define the security of the system itself windowsdefender, but as the system built with a very high degree of software, so the scanning speed has been very good.

In fact, Windowsdefender in the center of the function can also make its performance more perfect. Real-time protection can scan programs that are downloaded and run. You can also filter for specific file types and paths, and support the scanning of messages and mobile storage, and so on.

In security settings, users can clearly see the current system's various services enabled, and maintenance areas can also display information such as detection problem reports or backups.

Third, UAC change body

In fact, there is a debate about the UAC feature in Vista, which has increased security while reducing the user experience. In Windows7, Microsoft began to allow users to select the notification level for UAC, and also improved the user interface to enhance the experience. The biggest improvement in UAC in WINDOWS7 is that it provides more control options in the Control Panel, and allows users to choose the appropriate UAC level for their needs.

Enter "Secpol.msc" in the Start Menu search box and return to open the Local Security Policy Editor, select Local policy → security options, and then in the list on the right, locate the "User Account Control: Administrator's elevation prompt behavior attribute in Admin Approval Mode" and the user can see "Local Security Settings" There are six choices in the Drop-down list in: No prompts, direct elevation, prompt credentials on the secure desktop, consent prompt on secure desktop, prompt credentials, consent prompt, non-Windows binaries consent prompt. There is a need to mention the "Non-Windows binaries consent hint", which can be a good way to filter Windows system files and directly use the UAC function for the application, which is the highlight of Windows7.

Another intuitive way to modify the user account to enter the control Panel changes the interface, click "Change user Account Control Settings", Windows7 under the UAC settings provide a slider allows users to set the level of notification, you can choose 4 ways, but obviously not the above method flexible.
