This Holiday Season, Protect New PCs Before Connecting to the Internet | |
|
||
| Time: 00:31 EST/05:31 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Consumers who are planning to buy or think they may receive a new PC this holiday season will want to learn how to protect it right out of the box. With a few simple precautions, PCs can be better protected from computer viruses and other online hazards. Why should users take safety precautions with a new PC? Because they won't have a secured connection to the Internet unless the new PC has a firewall enabled, is up to date using Windows® Update and includes fully updated anti-virus software. Computers loaded with Microsoft® Windows XP have features to help protect them from online threats right out of the box. Windows XP comes with a built-in firewall that can easily be enabled. By turning on the firewall before connecting to the Internet, new PC owners can be better protected as they download anti-virus updates and visit Windows Updates to get and keep their PC up to date. | ||
