call out unusual purchasing behavior (i.e. if you live in Texas and all of the

out of the ordinary purchases, they might call you and ask you to confirm
them. Don't take these calls lightly; this is your hint that something bad
may have happened and you should take necessary action.

updates include security patches and program updates that can improve
your computing experience and help protect your computer against new

How do I know when my computer is at risk?
If the Action Center reports an alert, or if your computer behaves
erratically, crashes unexpectedly or if some of your programs do not work
correctly, your computer may be infected by malicious software. However,
do not blame every computer problem on a virus! If you suspect your
computer is infected, the first thing to do is update, if you have not already
done so, and run your antivirus and anti-spyware software.
