System Security

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

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

The Microsoft Windows operating system is preinstalled on the computer. The best way to protect the 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 the 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.

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