If you chose not to have updates installed automatically after each scan, you need to select the software updates you want to install. To help you decide which updates to install, you can review additional information about the updates.
Vulnerability Scanner shows these details for Windows updates:
| Rating | Rates the updates that are critical to your PC's security. If a critical update isn't installed, your PC is at risk and could be compromised. Vulnerability Scanner only scans for critical Windows updates. |
| Description | Describes the update, such as why it was issued, and what it fixes. |
Vulnerability Scanner shows these details for Program updates:
| Rating | Rates the update as critical or recommended. If a critical update is not installed, your PC is at risk and could be compromised. Recommended updates pose a much lower security threat. |
| Version number | Shows the version of the program currently installed on your PC, and the version of the update. |
 | You might not be able to select certain updates for installation. These updates require you to provide information during the installation and need you to install them. You can download these updates now, or wait until after Vulnerability Scanner installs the other updates. |
