More security with 64-bit

by TuneUp

Thanks for sharing your review of the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

I’ve found the 64-bit version is more secure since it comes with Kernel Patch Protection- this prevents malicious programs from changing the Windows kernel.

It also contains Data Execution Protection, which is basically a feature that prevents an application from running code from a memory region where it’s not supposed to run.

For users who are trying to decide between getting the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 7, I’d say if you are planning on buying a new computer then go with 64-bit.

But if you currently using a 32-bit operating system and want to upgrade the OS, then stick with 32-bit if you don’t work with resource intense applications.

The info in this post should help-
