The extraordinary UAC new experience under win7

From the XP era to the Vista era and the Windows 7 era, although all of their security policies are different, they all do more or less basic security services in the system. The genuine Win 7 operating system uses the security mechanism of the user UAC setting in the Vista operating system, but this function basically guarantees the system security. Let's take a look at UAC and experience the incredible magical effects.

UAC is a very strange term for users. First of all, what is UAC?

UAC (User Account Control), Chinese translation for user account control, is Microsoft The new technology referenced in Windows Vista and Windows7, the main function is to automatically trigger UAC when performing some operations that affect the security of the system. Because most of the malware, Trojans, and ad plugins are like when you enter the computer: copy the files to a directory such as Windows or Program Files, install drivers, install ActiveX, etc., and these operations will trigger UAC, users can be in UAC Prompt to prevent the running of these programs.

The ability to trigger UAC operations includes:

* Modifying Windows Update configuration;

* Adding or deleting user accounts;

* Changing user account types ;

* Change UAC settings;

* Install ActiveX;

* Install or uninstall programs;

* Install device drivers;

* Modify and set parental controls;

* Add or modify the registry;

* Move or copy files to Program Files or Windows directory;

* Access Other user directories

UAC is annoying

Yes, Microsoft has been joining UAC since Windows Vista, which has become one of the criticisms of VISTA, because Vista is not like Win7. The UAC level setting (in fact, Windows 7 UAC is also very annoying), the general configuration of the computer at that time is also very low, so people pop up on this move, but also the guy who locks the screen is very disgusted.

UAC is perfect in Windows 7

Because UAC is too annoying, Microsoft has added UAC's level setting function in Windows 7, which corresponds to 4 levels:

Highest level:

Under the advanced level, “Always notify & rdquo; (that is, fully open), under which users install applications, upgrade software, and in any case Changes to the operating system, changes to Windows settings, etc., will pop up a prompt window (and enable the secure desktop), requesting user confirmation. This shows that this level is the safest level, but it is also the most “trouble” level. It is suitable for multiple people sharing a single computer, restricting other standard users, and prohibiting them from changing system settings at will. Previous123Next page Total 3 pages
