Why is windows not secure out of the box.

 

Hi,

My guess is that you have a new PC and you are getting a pop-up message about your computer not being secure. If this is the case then the rest of the message is probably telling you that you do not have an AntiVirus installed.

Windows is warning you that connecting to the internet without running an AntiVirus is leaving your machine vulnerable to viruses and malware.

You should be looking to find and run an AntiVirus program.

If I misunderstood the problem please let me know. If you need suggestions on an antivirus also let us know.

 

I want to see how other people secure there computer here to see if I'm doing it the right way.

I do not know how to secure the computer or the proper way to make it secure .

 

For firewall is zone-alarm any good ? Or are there better firewall out there?


What about AntiMalware what are good AntiMalware software out there?

And when comes to Java ,java-script or scripts what do I do ?

I hear flash and active X is really bad why is that.Why do they not make it better?

 

We all know Internet Explorer can not be separated from the windows system. They also made that claim it can but we know that IE is part of the OS.

It will take alot of programming do separated IE from the OS.


On last note when comes to Unix,Linux ,windows or OS X you need Java , Java script , script and Flash so how can any OS be secure when you need Java , Java script , script and Flash for web sites to work :confused

 

For firewall is zone-alarm any good ? Or are there better firewall out there?

Windows7's is all you need on a firewall. Fairly good program. MHO.

Super-antispyware free program in this sight

Along with the free -> http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html

On Java, just remember to un-install the older version in add-remove. When you get a newer version. This dosen't apply to up-dates to the version installed.

You will need the newest version of power point viewer to view emails that used power point to create.

On any firewall used. Just remember. Any program does not need to be a server.

Hope this helped.

 

What will zone-alarm do that windows firewall cannot do?

Also can you elaborate on Java , Java script , script and Flash .

 

Does Java , Java script , script and Flash need to be turn off or do I need software to filter it?

 

Okay so I should get this addon where I can turn javascript and flash on or off do to the sites

Why does javascript ,Java, flash ,scripts have so much malware now days?

 

I'm guessing it's one of the easier ways for malicious coders to infect machines as many people don't use addons like NoScript.

That and flash / java code can be executed from within the browser without the need of the victim needing to download and open a file.

 

What settings do I have to go in to tighten up the OS ?

Other than getting Antivirus , Firewall ,AntiMalware , good router with security and addons like NoScript what more can one do .:cool Is Norton or Kaspersky the best Antivirus out there if one has money? I hear that SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes are the best AntiMalware .

I hear spybot search and destroy and adware SE are not has good like thay used to be before at removing malware .I belive that spybot search and destroy pro or SuperAntispyware have real time blocking where Malwarebytes and adware SE are just tools to remove malware.

Other than getting these programs , turning UAC up really high and browsing the internet with standard or guest account what more can I do to secure the OS.
