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 it is 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.
