Explanation

User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows that helps prevent unauthorized changes to a user's computer. UAC asks the user for permission or an administrator password before performing actions that could potentially affect a computer's operation or that change settings that affect other users. Answer: A is incorrect. Windows Defender is a Windows tool that keeps spyware and other potentially unwanted software from infecting a computer. It uses definitions to determine if detected software is spyware or malware, and then to alert users of potential risks. Definitions are updated periodically through Windows Update or by setting Windows Defender to check online for updated definitions. Answer: D is incorrect. The Parental Controls feature in Windows enables parents to determine which games their children can play, which programs they can use, and which web sites they can visit. Parents can also restrict computer usage to certain times of the day through this feature by configuring the settings in the Parental Controls panel. Answer: B is incorrect. A firewall is a program or hardware device that prevents data packets from coming in or going out to a specified network or computer. It is used to separate an internal network from the Internet.
