Ways to Enhance Windows XP Security Protection

I am already familiar with the Windows XP operating system! Have you summarized some of the experience to share with you? I have accumulated some experience in the process of using Windows XP operating system. Sharing it will also allow you to get started quickly while using the Windows XP operating system. Skilled in mastering the use of XP, you can enjoy the powerful features that XP system brings to you. Let's enjoy it together.

It is reported that Windows XP is based on its stability, powerful personal and network functions. It is respected, and its "NT kernel", we have to strengthen security protection.

1. General security protection

The so-called "regular security protection" is the same as Windows 98 to install anti-virus software, upgrade system, prohibit Ping three security methods. It should be emphasized that Windows XP, like its predecessor, Windows 2000, has numerous loopholes. The upgrade of the system cannot be as sloppy as Windows 98. In addition to installing Microsoft's vulnerability patch for "Blast Wave", it is recommended to upgrade Windows XP to The latest Service Pack 1 (improved resources will be increased after the upgrade, but the security and stability have improved).

2. Disable Remote Assistance and Block Idle Ports

On Windows XP, there is a feature called "Remote Assistance" which allows users to use the computer when it is difficult. Friends on MSN send out remote assistance invitations to help them solve the problem.

And this "Remote Assistance" function is exactly the expression of the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service that the virus is attacking on Windows XP. Users are advised not to use this feature, and should also install the RPC vulnerability tool provided by Microsoft and the "shock wave" immunization program before use. The method of disabling "Remote Assistance" is to open the System Properties dialog box (right click "My Computer", "Attributes"), remove it from the "Remote" item and allow it to be sent from this computer. Remote Assistance Invitation & rdquo; in front of “√”.

The port can be restricted using the "TCP/IP Filtering Service" that comes with the system. Here's how: Right click on the "Network Connections" button and select "Properties" to open the "Network Connection Properties" dialog box. In the "General" category, select the Internet Protocol (TCP). /IP)” Then click the [Properties] button below, in the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" window, click the [Advanced] button below, in the pop-up "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" In the window, select the "Options" option, click the [Properties] button below, and finally pop up the "TCP/IP Filter" window. Add the "Allow only" radio box in the window. “TCP”, UDP”, IP” and other ports allowed by the network protocol, without providing various services, can block all ports. This is the best form of security.

3. Disabling Terminal Services Remote Control

"Terminal Services" is a legacy of Windows XP on Windows 2000 (Windows 2000 uses this service for remote server hosting) Service form. Users can use the terminal to achieve remote control. “Terminal Services” and “Remote Assistance” are different. Although they all implement remote control, Terminal Services pays more attention to the user's login management rights. Each connection requires a specific login of the current system. ID, and isolated from each other, "Terminal Services" is independent of the invitation of the current computer user, and can log in to the remote computer independently and freely.

Under Windows XP, "Terminal Services" is opened by default (Windows 2000 system needs to install the corresponding components before you can open and use Terminal Services). That is, if anyone knows you A user login ID on the computer, and knowing the IP of the computer, it gives you complete control over your computer.

To turn off “Terminal Services in Windows XP, follow these steps: Right-click "My Computer", "Attributes", select "Remote", remove “Allow Users can connect to this computer remotely & rdquo; in front of “√”
