This section provides information about keeping your computer operating smoothly and protecting against potential threats to your computer's security.

How can I protect my computer against security threats, such as viruses?

The Microsoft Windows operating system is preinstalled on your computer. The best way to protect your computer against security threats, such as viruses, is to download and install the latest Windows updates regularly.

You can get important Windows updates by doing one of the following:

The Automatic Updates feature — This feature automatically searches for and delivers updates directly to your computer whenever you are connected to the Internet.

The Windows Updates web site — This site enables you to download computer updates without turning on the Automatic Updates feature.

Your computer must be connected to the Internet before you can receive updates.

To use the Automatic Updates feature

1Connect to the Internet.

2Click the Automatic Updates icon on the Taskbar notification area. The Automatic Updates Setup Wizard appears.

3Click Next, and follow the on-screen instructions to set up automatic or scheduled updates.
