Why Windows is the most vulnerable operating system to viruses and attacks
Most of the followers of thec news blog and read this post is a user of Windows, and there are rarely used other systems such as Linux or Mac OS, as well as there are other systems few users know that they exist and are used like the system Chrome OS of Google.
But why Windows is one of the most vulnerable to viruses, hacks and malware?
This is what we will try to present in a simple way through this post.
Let's start with a statistic of Statcounte, which provides statistics on the most used operating systems in the world over the last 365 days. These statistics show that the most commonly used operating system is Microsoft Windows by 78.32%, then comes the operating system of Apple Mac OS in Second place is 13.22%, while other operating systems such as Linux and Chrome OS do not exceed 9% combined.
It is clear from this statistic that the superiority of Microsoft, which offers the Windows operating system, and therefore most computer users across the world use the operating system Windows.
With this approach, hackers or anyone who wants to sabotage or make viruses, will not focus on systems used by very few users, and a proportion of them may be aware of the protection, and therefore will take their precautions and the hacker will not be able to penetrate them.
It is normal to flout the operating system used by a large number of users. For example (there is no fisherman who fish in a pond with a small number of fish, if he wants to catch a large amount will go to the sea where there are a large number of fish.) Thus, hackers focus on the vulnerabilities in Windows systems because of the large users of this The system will have a greater chance of hacking by either hijacking or spreading malware or even making money like spreading ransomware over the past years.
Now, after all this information, we are aware that Windows is the most vulnerable to hacking and malware, so how do we protect ourselves from all these things? Do I buy official Windows systems? Do I have to buy expensive antivirus software?
Let us say that there are already users who buy operating systems and security programs at high prices.However, their computers are infected with viruses.This is because firewalls do not offer 100% full protection for your computer, because there is a certain percentage depends on the way you use and operate on the computer, for example. He bought the best phone with a fairy camera in the world, and when he wants to take a picture it finds a little shaky or blurred, it is believed that the camera does not work well.It depends not only on the quality of the camera, but on the contrary, a large proportion depends on the way Your use of this camera, such as that you do not Shooting in a place with good lighting, or when shooting, the phone should be steady without shaking, or before shooting make sure the lens is clean ... etc.
The idea is to not be 100% dependent on your security software, even if you have bought it at a high price. Do not download any unsafe program and malicious things and think that the protection program can protect you, naturally there are malicious programs and new viruses that can not be detected and eliminated by the protection program, very careful deciding how to deal while you use the computer, and this does not mean that you do not buy On the contrary, be sure to buy from its official site and use it besides the Windows Security program for Windows, which is developed by Microsoft.
Microsoft is constantly suffering from security vulnerabilities on its systems, and most of the updates published by Microsoft are about filling these gaps, because hackers always keep the Windows system in mind for the reasons that we mentioned at the beginning of this post.
Microsoft is trying to develop from the Windows protection programs such as Firewall and Windows Defender, which was developed to become Windows Security on Windows 10, and trying to make you do not buy protection programs, but my advice to you to buy any strong software and make it work next to the protection system Also try to use your computer in a rational and proper manner and do not carry any unsafe programs or patches, all in order to provide maximum protection for your device and your privacy from sabotage and destruction.
