Updating/Installing Antivirus
For Windows computers, there is one more step to make sure everything goes smoothly – updating your antivirus software.
Helpful hint: Having more than one antivirus product on your computer at a time will cause your computer to run slow and erratic. Before installing a new antivirus product, please make sure you uninstall the old one.
On Windows 8, you can use the built-in program called Windows Defender.

On Windows 7, we recommend installing Microsoft’s free antivirus product called Microsoft Security Essentials.
