46 Chapter 3 Using your Tablet PC
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an out-of-date antivirus application), the Security Center sends you an alert and provides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.
• Malware protection. Protects you from viruses, spyware, and other unwanted software.
• Other security settings. Manages Internet security settings and User Account Control
to help protect your computer. Internet security settings apply to Internet Explorer, but
not to other Web browsers.
To learn more about Windows Security Center, open Motion Dashboard to the Security
panel, then tap Windows Security Center.
Setting up users and passwords
You can use different types of user accounts and passwords to create various levels of
protection for your Tablet PC and its data, depending on the level of security that you need.
