Protect Your Privacy

When you use the notebook for Internet access, e-mail, or networking, it is possible for unauthorized persons to obtain information about you, your notebook, and your data. Firewall software monitors incoming traffic on your computer by including features such as logging and reporting, automatic alarms, and user interfaces for configuring the firewall. Some firewalls also monitor outgoing traffic. To protect your privacy, it is recommended that you

Keep your Windows operating system updated. Many Windows updates contain security enhancements. For information about updating Windows, refer to the Hardware and Software Guide located in the Help and Support Center. To access the Help and Support Center:

Select Start > Help and Support > User Guides.

Use a firewall such as the Windows operating system firewall that is available on your notebook. To learn more about this firewall:

Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Windows Firewall > General tab.
