Four Steps to Help Protect Your Computer Turn on Windows Internet firewall Use Microsoft Update to keep Windows up-to-date automatically Install and maintain antivirus software Install and maintain antispyware software

Turn on Windows Internet Firewall An Internet firewall helps create a protective barrier between your computer and the Internet

Use Automatic Updates to Keep Software Up-to-date Install all updates as soon as they are available Automatic updates provide the best protection Keep Your Operating System and Software Updated One of the most important things you can do to help protect your computer is also one of the easiest. Just keep your system up to date with the latest software. Online criminals are constantly at work devising new ways to attack your computer and invade your privacy. Fortunately, software companies work even harder to counter those threats and to provide you with updated tools that you can use to protect your computer. You should regularly update your computer operating system with security updates provided by the manufacturer. The same goes for your Web browser and other important applications, including your antivirus and antispyware programs. Check the Web sites of software companies for information about updating the programs on your computer. If you use a Windows operating system from Microsoft, you can help protect your computer automatically by using the automatic updating feature available as part of Windows Vista or Windows XP SP2. You can manually update your Microsoft software by going to update.microsoft.com. When you turn on automatic updating, your computer will check for, download, and install updates on the schedule you choose. The Benefits of Automatic Security Updates As with human viruses, the best treatment for computer viruses is to avoid getting them in the first place. Every time you log on to the Internet, your security risk increases. Having up-to-date security features already installed as part of your computer system helps to ensure that you have the highest level of protection available.

Install and Maintain Antivirus Software Antivirus software helps to detect and remove computer viruses before they can cause damage. For antivirus software to be effective, you must keep it up-to-date. Don’t let it expire

Install and Maintain Antispyware Software Use antispyware software, like Microsoft Windows Defender, so unknown software cannot track your online activity and potentially steal your information.
