Secure the Windows 8.1 boot process Applies to: Windows 8, Windows 8.1 The Windows operating system has many features to help protect you from malware, and it does an amazingly good job. Except for apps that businesses develop and use internally, all Windows Store apps must meet a series of requirements to be certified and included in the Windows Store.

This certification process examines several criteria, including security, and is an effective means of preventing malware from entering the Windows Store. Even if a malicious app does get through, the Windows 8.1 operating system includes a series of security features that can mitigate the impact. For instance, Windows Store apps are sandboxed and lack the privileges necessary to access user data or change system settings. Windows 8.1 has multiple levels of protection for desktop apps and data, too. Windows Defender uses signatures to detect and quarantine apps that are known to be malicious. The SmartScreen Filter warns the user before allowing them to run an untrustworthy app, even if it’s recognized as malware.

Before an app can change system settings, the user would have to grant the app administrative privileges by using User Account Control. Those are just some of the ways Windows 8.1 protects you from malware.

However, those security features protect you only after Windows 8.1 starts. Modern malware—and bootkits specifically—are capable of starting before Windows, completely bypassing operating system security, and remaining completely hidden. When you run Windows 8.1 on a Windows 8.1–certified PC or any PC that supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), Trusted Boot protects your PC from malware from the moment you power your PC on until your anti-malware starts.

In the unlikely event that malware does infect a PC, it can’t remain hidden; Trusted Boot can prove the system’s integrity to your infrastructure in a way that malware can’t disguise. Even on PCs without UEFI, Windows 8.1 provides even better startup security than previous versions of Windows. First, let’s examine what rootkits are and how they work. Then, we’ll show you how Windows 8.1 can protect you. The threat: rootkits Rootkits are a sophisticated and dangerous type of malware that run in kernel mode, using the same privileges as the operating system. Hierarchical Data Grid View Filter.

Because rootkits have the same rights as the operating system and start before it, they can completely hide themselves and other applications. Often, rootkits are part of an entire suite of malware that can bypass local logins, record passwords and keystrokes, transfer private files, and capture cryptographic data. Different types of rootkits load during different phases of the startup process: • Firmware rootkits.
