Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair (all in one) leaving the system totally open?
« on: December 18, 2013, 05:30:43 am »
Hello,
I followed the tipp to use Windows Repair (all in one) from a microsoft forum, in order to get the Windows Firewall running again. The good thing is: this worked.
But from my understanding, setting the registry permissions and file permissions open for 'everyone' (the user) and normal users (with normally limited rights) makes my computer totally vulnerable to all kinds of attacks. Being logged on as a user with limited rights, I just tried to delete some system files, and it worked.
So, using Windoes Repair (all in one) does not 'repair' registry and file permissions, but erases all security features the OS has to offer. To me, this seems to be a total nightmare.
Questions:
1. Are these assumptions correct so far?
2. Is there a way to repair the 'repair', re-establishing registry and file security?
I fear that using this software leaves users, which value system security, no choice but to reinstall windows afterwards, which would make the software pretty useless. Please tell me that I am wrong.
Thanks!
