💡 Security Best Practices

🎉 You’re now protected! Your Windows PC has enhanced security.

  • 🔍 Enable all security features
    Turn on real-time protection, cloud-delivered protection, and automatic sample submission. These work together to provide comprehensive security.
  • 🚫 Keep settings at recommended levels
    Don’t disable security features for convenience. The default settings are designed for maximum protection. Only adjust if you understand the risks.
  • 📱 Monitor security dashboard regularly
    Check Windows Security weekly. Review threats detected, scan results, and protection status. Address any warnings immediately.
  • ⚠️ Update definitions automatically
    Ensure security definitions update daily. These contain signatures for new threats. Outdated definitions leave you vulnerable to latest malware.
  • 🔒 Run full scans monthly
    Quick scans are daily, but run full system scans monthly. This catches deeply hidden malware that quick scans miss. Schedule for overnight.
