What is Windows Security Center?
The Windows Security Center allows centralized management of Windows security
information, and monitors antivirus measures and other Windows security settings
to ensure optimum 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
following 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 net-
work, 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 security updates and other important updates for Windows have been
made available, and automatically installs these updates in their latest conditions.
• Virus Protection
This function regularly checks whether antivirus software has been installed in the
computer, and whether the version of that software is the latest version available.
NOTE
z
Some network-related software and some online network games do not operate
normally if the Windows Firewall is enabled. Ask the software manufacturer
about the Windows Firewall in the case of using such software.
