Instructions on how to change how your computer connects to the internet and how you want to handle updates while using mobile networks.
Your Internet service provider may offer or require you to use a proxy. A proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. It intercepts all requests to the Internet to see if it can fulfill the request using its cache. Proxies are used to improve performance, filter requests, and hide your computer from the Internet to improve security.
- Open the product from the Windows Start menu.
- On the Antivirus page, select Settings.
- Select Updates > Edit settings.
Note: You need administrative rights to change some of the settings.
- Under Manual proxy setup, select whether or not your computer uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
- Select Do not use if your computer is connected to the Internet directly.
- Select Use the browser’s settings to use the same HTTP proxy settings that you have configured in your web browser.
- Select Custom address and then add the proxy address and the Port number to configure your HTTP proxy settings manually.
