This also means that the newest good updates from microsoft or Acer are also missing. So do a windows update. I also think your machine will automatically check with acer and microsoft for updates.

But I would avoid java updates or anything else without googling it. I like chrome better than IE internet explorer.

Here's a good tip.
Do you know if you can log into your computer as a guest? When you go to the library and log in you are a guest. You can't install software without a password. Malware is software and it can't install either without a password.

When you log in as an administrator or if your account has administrator rights, than you have already granted permission for you and others to install good and bad software.
