Using antivirus software
When you use the tablet to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose it to viruses.
Viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have
caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up
to date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled on your tablet. It is strongly recommended that you continue to use an
antivirus program in order to fully protect your tablet.
For more information about viruses, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, type
support in the taskbar search box, and then select the HP Support Assistant app.
Using rewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A rewall can be a software
program you install on your tablet and/or network, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware and
software.
