To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to

An antivirus program may be preinstalled on your computer. It is strongly recommended that you use

the antivirus program of your choice in order to fully protect your computer.

For more information about computer viruses, from the Start screen, type hp support assistant,

and then select the HP Support Assistant app.

Using firewall software

Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be

software you install on your computer and/or network, or it can be a combination of both hardware

and software.

There are two types of firewalls to consider:

●

Host-based firewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.

●

Network-based firewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network

to protect all the computers on the network.

When a firewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and

compared with a set of user-defined security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is

blocked.

Installing software updates

HP, Microsoft Windows, and third-party software installed on your computer should be regularly

updated to correct security problems and improve software performance. For more information, see

Updating programs and drivers on page 60.

Installing critical security updates

CAUTION: Microsoft® sends out alerts regarding critical updates. To protect the computer from

security breaches and computer viruses, install all critical updates from Microsoft as soon as you

receive an alert.

and improve functionality of the software.
