Ten repair methods to eliminate hidden dangers in one step (1)

The so-called flies don't stare at seamless eggs, and most cyber attacks are also aimed at computers with security risks. Below, this article will show you how to fix computer security vulnerabilities.
In the comic book world, everyone has the talent to create evil. In the online world, hackers, spam, and "phishing" are also evil, but they don't have the talent to create loopholes. They are designed to be a variety of attacks only for security vulnerabilities.

And against these attacks, you don't need to be a genius. You only need to do a few repairs to avoid these attacks.

Fix one: Patching software vulnerabilities

Are you lucky enough to think that you will not be attacked, so turn off the software or the system's automatic update function? In the era of modern computer information, you can already control your computer without knowing it. If your software is not patched in time, it will definitely provide excellent opportunities for those who destroy it.

Now, hacked sites - one of the many hackers' chosen targets, will sneakly scan your computer's ports for security holes and launch attacks as you log in.

Fortunately, you can effectively block some web-based attacks by upgrading your system in time (including upgrading your browser). Otherwise, some seemingly safe software, such as QucikTime, WinZip, and IE, is likely to suffer damage.

Fix 2: Identify other vulnerabilities

If every software you use will Automatically updated, and users have enough skills to use, then these malicious rogue software will become no market - a heavy blow. But this is not the case. For this reason, we recommend Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI, a very useful and professional tool).

The company's PSI personal security software is available for free download. It automatically detects the security status of up to 4,200 applications on your computer, alerts you to the severity and resolution of threats, and supports features such as version updates and expiration reminders, and information such as software vulnerabilities can be connected to Secunia via SSL. Perform an upgrade synchronization. At present, this software only supports English, and those who know English a little can use it easily.

It should be noted that this tool is not perfect. It is also not always able to alert every unsafe component. But for most applications, it can provide us with practical and fast fixes.

Fix 3: Make your browser never expire

Some websites with malicious code are hard to find, and those malicious code are not displayed on the webpage, but enter the background. Attacking makes it hard to prevent. This makes it even more important to have a newest secure browser, such as Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5, which have just been released, to protect your surfing.

These two browsers have enhanced anti-phishing features compared to their previous versions, and can effectively block various malicious code. Although they do not guarantee complete elimination of security risks, they provide at least one more layer of protection.

Microsoft will also plan to add more security features in IE 8.0, but this version will not come out for a while.
