Windows 7 is known as the most secure platform in the history of Windows operating system, and it is indeed true. During use, I found that the related functions of Windows 7's own security settings have been greatly improved compared to XP and Vista systems, and the various settings are also richer. Below I will teach you how to set up some security settings for the system and lay out a comprehensive security defense line for the system to make your Windows 7 more secure!
Strengthen account control and create the first security level
The primary security factor of this system is the account and password we use to log in to the system and the control authority we have over the computer. The user password setting in Windows 7 is simpler, and the "parental control" function adds a variety of new functions, which is richer than the previous system.
Enter the system with a "pass"
Although adding a login password to the system is no obstacle to experts, it is undeniable that it can still protect most people. Otherwise, anyone can use the computer at any time. We can also add low-privilege users in Windows 7 as needed for others to use, thus adding the first line of security to the system.
Step 1: Click "Start → Control Panel", then click "Add or Remove User Accounts" under "User Accounts and Family Safety". A dialog box will appear, then click "Create a new account" and enter the account name. Select "Standard User" and finally click the "Create Account" button to create a new account.
Step 2: Click "General User" to enter the account setting interface, click the "Create Password" button to enter the password, and then click the "Create Password" button. Use this method to add passwords to all accounts in the system, especially administrator-level accounts. After turning on the computer, select the account and enter the password to log in to the system.
Use "Parental Control" well
"Parental control" literally means it is provided for parents to use, so that parents can monitor their children's use of computers in an all-round way and prevent the negative impact of computer networks on their children. "Parental Control" is just a name given by Microsoft to reflect the monitoring function. It essentially reflects the relationship between management and being managed, and is a kind of permission control. Making good use of "Parental Control" can achieve powerful account management and monitoring. Here we set up parental control for "ordinary users".
Step 1: Open the Control Panel, click the "User Accounts and Family Security" option, then click the "Parental Control" switch interface, click "Normal User", and you will be prompted for all administrator-level accounts in the system. Set a password, enter the parental control interface after setting, and select the "Enable, apply current settings" option.
Step 2: Click the "Time Limit" button to switch the interface. Here, the time period is divided by week and time. The time period is hour, indicating a certain time on the day of the week. When clicking in the box turns blue, the current time Then it cannot be turned on. When the square is white, it is the boot time. Finally, click the "OK" button to complete the setting. Through time limits, we can easily control the computer time of ordinary users.
Step 3: Click "Allow and block specific programs" and then select "Ordinary users can only use programs I allow". At this time, the software available in the system will be detected, and the checked software can be used, such as: Daily If Office is used for word processing, check the programs under Office. For some programs that have not been retrieved, click the "Browse" button to add them manually, and finally click the "OK" button. In this way, when the user is using a program that is not allowed, the system will prompt "Parental control has blocked this program." If you want to obtain permission to use the program, just click the "Please ask the administrator for permission" button above the prompt box and enter the management The administrator password provided by the administrator can be used.
