Warning from the Windows Security Center 
A warning from the Windows Security Center appears the first time you switch on your 
device. The Security Center checks the status of the device in regard to the three important 
security aspects listed below. If a problem is detected (an outdated antivirus program, for 
example), the Security Center issues a warning and makes recommendations on how you 
can better protect the device. 
•  Firewall: The Windows Firewall adds protection to the device by blocking network or 
Internet access to the device by unauthorized users. Windows checks if the device is 
protected by a software firewall. 
The firewall is enabled by default in the factory state. 
•  Antivirus software: Antivirus programs add protection to the device by searching for and 
eliminating viruses and other security threats. Windows checks if a full-range, up-to-date 
antivirus program is running on the device. 
No antivirus software is installed in the factory state. 
•  Automatic updates: Using the Automatic Update feature allows Windows to regularly 
search for the latest critical updates for the device and to install them automatically.  
This feature is disabled in the factory state. 
Configure the Security Center according to your requirements.
