How do you get Microsoft Security Essential to update? for some reason it keeps saying there's no internet when there is. Also I can't seem to log on to other websites. Any ideas on how to fix the problems?

    How did you confirm that the unit is getting connected to internet when you can not logon to any website?  If the issue is the network disconnecting frequently try a TCP IP reset.
     
    For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
    1. On the Start screen, type CMD. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt, enter the following command, and then press Enter:
    3. netsh int ip reset 
    • Restart the computer.
