Using antivirus software
When you use the tablet to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose it to computer
viruses. Viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to function
abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have
caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up
to date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled. It is strongly recommended that you continue to use an antivirus program
in order to fully protect your tablet.
For more information about viruses, access the HP Support Assistant.
Using firewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be a software
program you install on your tablet and/or network, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware and
software.
