Question

... has better security facilities to guard users against malware , such as viruses

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Create a Standard Account (Windows 7 & 8). Many users log in as 'Administrators' for every computer session. While administrative privileges are necessary for software installation, viruses and trojans are most harmful when entering via an Administrator Account. We recommend that you always log in with a Limited User Account or Standard Account for everyday use, even if you are the only person using your computer.

Set up a password for the Administrator Account. Most hacked computers have either a poor password or none at all on the Administrator Account.

Require a username and password for all users. Make sure everyone who uses your computer needs a username and password to log in.

Disable Guest Accounts. Intended for temporary users, Guest Accounts are an easy point of entry for hackers. We recommend that you permanently disable them.

The process for setting up User Accounts varies depending on your version of Windows. See the Windows Help documentation for specific instructions. To get started, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
