NOTE: 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 temporarily resolve the problem,
disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the firewall. To
permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
Installing critical security updates

the factory. To be sure that all available updates are installed on the computer, observe these guidelines:
●
Run Windows Update as soon as possible after you set up your computer.

Run Windows Update monthly thereafter.
●
Obtain updates to Windows and other Microsoft programs, as they are released, from the Microsoft
Web site and through the updates link in Help and Support.
