Using Windows Security Center
Windows Security Center provides a central location for you to manage your computer’s
security settings and learn more about improving security. If a problem is detected (such as
an out-of-date antivirus application), the Security Center sends you an alert and provides
recommendations for how to remedy the situation.
Windows Security Center manages the following:
• Windows Firewall. Protects your computer against viruses and other security threats,
such as intruders who might try access over the Internet or a network.
• Automatic Updates. Keeps your computer up to date by notifying you of important
Windows updates. You can configure Automatic Updates to download and install
updates automatically.
• Internet Options. Protects you from Web sites that could damage your computer,
blocks pop-ups, and protects your privacy. Internet Options allow you to change the
settings of Internet Explorer, but it cannot be used to change the settings of other Web
browsers.
To learn more about Windows Security Center, open Motion Dashboard to the Security
panel, then tap Windows Security Center.
