other threats from running on your device, and you'll receive security
updates automatically.

42

Windows Security updates you about antivirus protection by showing you
when:

★ Your device was last scanned for threats.

★ Your definitions were last updated—definitions are files that Windows

your device is operating efficiently.

lock.
● Firewall & network protection. Manage firewall settings and monitor what’s happening with your

software.
● Device performance & health. View status info about your device’s performance health, and keep your
