Do you know the four ultimate weapons in XP SP2? (1)

        Since Microsoft released the official version of Windows XP SP2 on August 6, 2004, what are the long-awaited ultimate weapons in XP SP2? Let us review it together.

One of the ultimate weapons: Windows Security Manager

Nowadays more and more users are coming into contact with Network
, surfing the Internet has become a part of people's daily life. Whether it is chatting online or playing online games, it is a compulsory course for young people. The forest is big, and there are birds. As the network becomes more and more popular, more and more bad substances are also swarming, such as the "virus", "trojan", "spam" and so on.

Figure 1 Security Center

Of course, the "Trojan Virus" is the most troublesome in this, and the security manager that comes with XP SP2 can help you solve this problem. Since most users don't know if their system is in a safe state, this leaves an opportunity for viruses or hackers to invade. The Windows Security Center can monitor whether the System Security
component is working properly, and it can identify whether the Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates, and Anti-Virus software are working properly in the shortest time.

For normal settings, the Security Center will be displayed in green; if the corresponding option is abnormal (for example, turned off or disabled), it will be marked in red; if the status is unknown, it will be marked in yellow. Antivirus software
options are more common, mainly because some antivirus
software may not be recognized by the system for some reason. But don't worry, it's not that the anti-virus software doesn't work or is not compatible with the system. The red warning and the yellow error just indicate that the anti-virus software can't be viewed in the security center.

It is important to note that although the firewall and anti-virus software can be set through the security center, these functions are not provided by the security center. The security center only plays a centralized management role.

The Ultimate Arms 2: Windows Firewall Comes Back

Remember the firewall that comes with XP? It didn't give people a good impression at first. I have already eaten it. I remember that when I used BT to download
movies, I couldn’t get the speed (I used 512K < U>ADSL
), the theoretical download speed should be around 70K, but I can only be around 30-40K at the fastest, looking for the cause of the problem, and finally found that Windwos firewall is funny, after turning it off The speed has improved significantly.




























But in XP SP2 !

Since it is called Windows Firewall, it should be functionally valid for Windows as a whole, and should not only be used for network connections. In fact, the Windows Firewall is a core security component in XP SP2, and it has become an indispensable security guard. Compared with the original ICF, there has been a significant improvement.

Although Windows Firewall provides a lot of features, it is relatively thin compared to professional-level firewall software.
