Dealing with Problems (Advanced)
Is it necessary to enable the Windows
Firewall?
The Windows Firewall is a security function designed to protect your computer
from unauthorized access via the Internet and other external networks.
The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the exter-
nal network, so that only approved data can pass through. We recommend that
you use your computer with the Firewall enabled to minimize damage from
viruses and other malicious attacks.
When installing additional commercially available firewall software, we recom-
mend that you disable the Windows Firewall settings, as the new software may
interfere with the Windows Firewall functions.
For details, refer to the manual accompanying the firewall software to be
installed.
When “Automatic Updates” is enabled,
will all updates be downloaded (or
installed)?
Only Windows Update programs with a high level of priority will be automati-
cally downloaded (or installed).
Update programs with a comparatively low level of importance will not be down-
loaded (or installed) automatically. Check regularly whether new update pro-
grams have become available.
Security Center warning function does
not operate
The Security Center warning function will not operate if you are using a network
domain, for example at a company.
