Introduction
|
With more and more people using the
Windows operating system, a lot of Trojans, viruses and spyware also
come. Most of these malicious programs may intrude into your system by
security vulnerabilities of the Windows operating system, or incubate
latently by disguising themselves as service programs. For the
consideration of system security and stability, Windows users
should constantly fix system vulnerabilities and frequently check
untrusted background programs. However, such work requires highly
professional expertise.

Questions and Answers You Should Know |

|
|

What is a system
vulnerability? |

A vulnerability is a defect in the

What is a vulnerability patch? |
|
Developers of an operating system
(especially Windows) or other applications or games may find
problems/vulnerabilities, or bugs, that can negatively affect the work
of its users or cause security dangers. They then write some

bugs. Such repairing codes are patches. |
