Windows update is very important to protecting your computer against viruses. Some people will go into windows and find programming flaws, then they will take advantage of these flaws in the programming and write viruses; the viruses are then released and begin to damage peoples computers. When windows finds out about this danger to peoples computers they create what's called a patch. A patch's job is to fix these problems in the program therefore getting rid of the virus. Now the only way for you to get these patches is through windows updates. Now say you don't have windows updates on, you are left very vulnerable to all of these viruses. Now if you want to turn windows updates on, you're going to want to make your way over to your control panel, then click on system security, if you're using windows xp it will be called security center. Now find the windows update section and turn them bad boys on. In the important updates section, you're going to want to click install updates automatically and then polish it off with an ok in the bottom right hand corner, and then you're good to go.
When things go bad, don't you sometimes wish you could go back to the good old days? This is the magic of the windows system restore. If your system restore is working correctly it's like a magical good times time machine that takes you back to the good old days when your computer worked like it was supposed to. When system restore is working properly it is constantly creating restore points for you to go back to. It also gives you the option to set your own restore point right before you do something risky like installing a new part on your computer. To make sure your system restore is doing its job you're going to want to head over to computer in the start menu right click it and select properties, then you want to click on the system protection tab. From here you can decide to perform a system restore you can create a restore point, or you can configure your settings, for now we're going to configure your settings. In here you're going to want to select the "restore system settings and previous versions of files, then you're probably going to want to slide the max usage bar to about 5%. Then just hit apply and ok, and then you're good to go.
