You don't. Go to microsoft.com and search for Security Essentials.
Windows Updates does NOT provide you with virus protection. It seems
that you don't have *any* protection at the moment.

Microsoft does *not* provide virus protection for you. You need to
install anti-virus software, from Microsoft (Microsoft Security
Essentials) or from some other vendor.
