How 2 Use
Security Center In Windows
We will click the START
button.
You will now click the
CONTROL PANEL.
Click on SECURITY.
Click on
The
- Firewall
- Automatic Updating
- Malware Protection
- Other Security Settings
You will see one of my Security
monitors is not green which means something is either turned off or missing
something.
I will click the down arrow
to the right of MALWARE PROTECTION to see what I am missing.
You see here Windows may not
have found any Virus protection.
It may be installed but not
found so I could click FIND A PROGRAM and associate the program with the
I know that I have never
installed Antivirus on this machine so I would need to do that to fix this
issue.
You can see on the left that
I have several options to choose from.
I will not go through each
of these since they have all been covered in another tutorial on our site.
I do want to click on CHANGE
THE WAY SECURITY CENTER ALERTS ME and take a look.
When you have problems with
Security Centers four options that it watches such as the Firewall it will
notify you
By diplaying an icon in the
system tray.
This is where that is
decided.
By default the first option
YES, NOTIFY ME AND DISPLAY THE ICON (recommended) is selected.
NOTE: By default, the
Windows Firewall is enabled.
NOTE: It is recommended to
have the Automatic Updates scheduled at least once a week to download and
install updates.
NOTE: Never turn off
Automatic Update Checking.
NOTE: Once you have
installed your Anti-Virus software verify the Malware Protection area is aware
that it exists so it can be monitored.
