Using antivirus software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, you expose it to computer
viruses. Computer viruses can disable or damage the operating system, software programs,
or computer utilities.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, remove them, and, in most cases, repair any
damage that they have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered
viruses, you must keep the antivirus software up to date.
The antivirus program, which is preinstalled on the computer, includes antivirus and firewall
components. The software includes a free trial subscription of protection updates. To protect
the computer against new viruses beyond the trial period, purchase an extended update
service. Instructions for using and updating the antivirus software, and for purchasing
extended update service, are provided within the program.
For more information about computer viruses: click the Start button, click Help and Support, and then type viruses into the Search Help box and press Enter. See “Using the
Onscreen Help and Support Center” on page 23.
Using firewall software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons
may be able to gain access to information about you, your computer, and your data. To
protect your privacy, use firewall software:
Windows includes firewall software preinstalled on the computer.
The antivirus program, which is preinstalled on the computer, includes a firewall
program.
Firewall features include logging, reporting, and automatic alarms to monitor all incoming
and outgoing communications.
Under some circumstances, a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with
printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To solve the
problem temporarily, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then
enable the firewall again. To resolve the problem permanently, reconfigure the firewall.
Configuring the computer for automatic Microsoft
software updates
Microsoft continually updates the Windows operating system. Run Windows Update monthly
to install these updates, or keep the operating system up to date by using the Automatic
Updates feature.
When you are connected to the Internet, Windows Update automatically notifies you
(through a pop-up message or icon in the notification area) when critical updates are
available. When you see the Windows Update message, allow the updates to download to
your system. If you update the system weekly, or even monthly, the time required for
download is minimal.
12Getting Started (features vary by model)
Page 73
Installing critical security updates
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information damage or loss from security
breaches and computer viruses, install all critical updates from Microsoft
as soon as you receive an alert.
Additional updates to the operating system and other software may have become available
after the computer was shipped. Download all available updates and install them onto the
computer.
Setting up user accounts
When you share a computer with several people, you can set up a user account for each
computer user. Windows uses the information in the user account to determine what files and
folders the computer user can access, when they can make changes to the computer, and
their personal preferences. Each person can access only their own files and settings.
For more information, click the Start button, click Help and Support, and then type User Accounts into the Search Help box and press Enter. See “Using the Onscreen Help and
Support Center” on page 23.

additional software programs or hardware devices. Keep in mind the following important
guidelines:
Before installation, make a restore point by using the Microsoft System Restore program.
The restore point is a snapshot of the computer settings. By using System Restore, you
ensure that you have a stable set of settings to use.
Choose software that is compatible with the computer; check the operating system,
memory, and other requirements listed for the new software.
Install the new software according to the directions provided by the software
manufacturer. If you need help, check the manufacturer documentation or customer
service information.
For antivirus software, uninstall the existing software program before reinstalling it or
installing a new antivirus program.
NOTE: Use only licensed original software. Installing copied software may be illegal, may
result in an unstable installation, or may infect the computer with a virus.

Software Troubleshooting
Your computer uses the operating system and installed software programs during normal
operation. If your computer works improperly or stops because of the software, you may be
able to repair it.
Some software repairs are as simple as restarting your computer, and others require
performing a system recovery from files on your hard disk drive.
Software repair overview
The most efficient way to repair software problems is simply to restart the computer or turn the
computer off completely and then power it back up again. If this does not work, then explore
the following methods for fixing your computer if you are experiencing software problems:
Updating drivers (see the following section, “Updating drivers”).
Microsoft System Restore (see “Microsoft System Restore” on page 40) — Restores your
computer configuration to a configuration that was in use before the current software
problem existed.
Software program and hardware driver reinstallation (See “Software program and
hardware driver reinstallation” on page 41) — Allows reinstallation of the factoryinstalled software or hardware driver by using the Recovery Manager program.
System recovery (see “System Recovery” on page 44) — Erases and reformats the hard
disk drive, deleting all data files you have created, and then reinstalls the operating
system, programs, and drivers.
Updating drivers
A driver is a software program that enables your computer to communicate with an attached
device, such as a printer, hard disk drive, mouse, or keyboard.
Complete the following procedure to update a driver, or to revert to an earlier version of the
driver if the new one does not solve your problem:
1Click the Start button.
2Type Device Manager into the Start Search box, and then click Device Manager to
open the Device Manager window.
3Click the plus sign (+) to expand the type of device you want to update or rollback. (For
example, DVD/CD-ROM drives).

5Click the Driver tab.
6To update a driver, click Update Driver, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Or
To revert to an earlier version of a driver, click Rollback Driver, and then follow the
onscreen instructions.
Microsoft System Restore
Microsoft Windows 7 includes a feature that enables you to restore your computer
configuration to a configuration that was in use before the current software problem existed.
The feature does this by creating a restore point where it records the computer settings at that
time and date.
When a new program is installed, the operating system automatically creates a restore point
before it adds the new software. You can also set restore points manually.
If you experience a problem that you think may be due to software on your computer, use
System Restore to return the computer to a previous restore point.
NOTE: Always use this System Restore procedure before you use the system recovery
program.
To start a System Restore:
1Close all open programs.
2Click the Start button,right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
3Choose System protection, System Restore, and then click Next.
4Follow the onscreen instructions.
To manually add restore points:
1Close all open programs.
2Click the Start button,right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
3Click System protection.
