Privacy
General
Here you can configure settings for your privacy and security when working with your computer.
Under Automatic Windows Updates you can specify whether Windows should automatically establish a con-
nection with Microsoft or not. If Enable automatic Windows Updates is activated, Windows may then establish
automatic contact with the Microsoft server as soon as there is an Internet connection, in order to check if there
are any updates for your system.
The Notify before downloading updates option should be enabled if you want to be asked permission before
Windows downloads available updates from the Internet.
Cover Tracks
Here you can configure settings to cover your tracks when working with documents and surfing the Internet.
Under Delete history lists you can click Delete now to clear the list of recently opened files in the Start menu.
Under Clear Internet Explorer cache enable the Clear Internet Explorer cache when closing option if the web
browser should clear its cache as soon as it closes. You should only select this option when maximum security is
important to you and you do not wish others to be able to find out which sites you visited on the Internet by
viewing the cache.
Internet Explorer
This is where you determine your privacy security settings.
Under Integrated SmartScreen filters you can enable the SmartScreenfilters to ensure that Internet Explorer
checks the websites accessed for suspicious and known scam websites.
Under Integrated Windows authentication you can enable the Disable integrated Windows authentication
option to ensure that Internet Explorer no longer automatically attempts to log on to websites using Windows
authentication.

Windows Media Player communicates frequently with the Internet. Under Settings, you can specify that neither
the list of recently played media files nor information about playback media or music files should be saved. Click

Click Advanced to proceed to the data protection settings for Windows Media Player. Here you can block script
