The biggest threat that third parties bring to Windows 7 security issues

The risk that third-party software poses for Windows operating systems is something that Microsoft can't ignore, and client security will continue to be at the forefront of information security defense. Even Microsoft's latest generation of client operating system, Windows 7, does not significantly reduce client-side attacks, and the risks posed by third-party software are still significant. How to avoid this major threat? Can you really avoid the threat of these viruses?

As we all know, Microsoft has spent a lot of effort on the security of Windows XP, but the Conficker virus still spreads last year. The number of infected Windows computers reached 7 million.

And with the repair of Windows vulnerabilities one by one, hackers found that the most widely used software in the Windows operating system, such as Flash Player, QuickTime and Java, is also the best place to launch an attack.

Dave Aitel, technical director of security company Immunity, said that Windows 7 is by far the most secure operating system released by Microsoft, but whether it is really safe enough is not known.

At present, security experts have made great progress in the security of Windows PC core operating system technology. However, with the popularity of the Internet, the scope of attacks by hackers has gradually increased. The Windows operating system may be secure, but the attacker is still able to attack the components that come with it. Therefore, regardless of whether the Windows operating system itself is sufficiently secure, Windows users will still be subject to various attacks from the outside world.

For example, like "phishing", an attacker can send a specially customized email containing malicious attachments to the user. Although this attack has nothing to do with the security of the bottom of Windows, it can still attack Windows users' computers.

With the launch of Windows 7, the adoption rate of Windows 7 by outside companies is still not popular. However, some analysts said that Microsoft's Vista is an operating system that is excluded by enterprises, but the popularity of Windows 7 in the enterprise will certainly exceed Vista. However, security is still the most interesting issue on the Windows platform.

When Microsoft released Windows 7, the company claimed that Windows 7 was the safest operating system in history. But is Windows 7 really as secure as Microsoft said?
