tion, and monitors antivirus measures and other Windows security settings to ensure opti-
mum safety.
Use the Windows Security Center function to protect your computer from damage by viruses, etc.
Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Security Center] to display the current settings for the fol-
lowing security functions.
• Windows Firewall
A security system for protecting the computer from unauthorized access via the Internet or
other external networks.
The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the external network,
so that only approved data can pass through.
At the time of purchase, the Windows Firewall is set to be enabled.
• Automatic Updates
If your computer is connected to the Internet, this function regularly checks whether secu-
rity updates and other important updates for Windows have been made available, and auto-
matically installs these updates in their latest conditions.
• Virus Protection
This function regularly checks whether antivirus software has been installed in the com-
puter, and whether the version of that software is the latest version available.
Use the Windows Security Center function to protect Windows from damage by computer vi-
ruses, etc.

When using the hard disk backup function, divide the hard disk into partitions when a backup
area is created (
