a wizard helps you fix them.
The issues that this wizard helps you fix can be grouped into these main categories:

Preventive security tasks you need to perform. An example of such a task
is scanning your computer. It is recommended that you scan your computer at
least once a week. Acronis Internet Security will automatically do that for you in
most cases. However, if you have changed the scanning schedule or if the schedule
is not completed, you will be notified about this issue.
When fixing such issues, a wizard helps you successfully complete the task.
System vulnerabilities. Acronis Internet Security automatically checks your
system for vulnerabilities and alerts you about them. System vulnerabilities include
the following:
weak passwords to Windows user accounts.
outdated software on your computer.
missing Windows updates.
Windows Automatic Updates is disabled.
When such issues are to be fixed, the vulnerability scan wizard is started. This
wizard assists you in fixing the detected system vulnerabilities. For detailed
information, please refer to section Checking for Vulnerabilities (p. 109).
