Antivirus Software
When you use the notebook for e-mail, network or Internet
access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer
viruses can disable your operating system, applications, or
utilities or cause them to function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in
most cases, repair damage they have caused. To provide
protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software
must be updated.
Norton AntiVirus is preinstalled on your notebook. For
information about using and updating your Norton AntiVirus
software, select Start > All Programs > Norton
AntiVirus
>Help and Support.
For more information about computer viruses, select Start >
Help and Support. Type
viruses into the Search field, and then
press
enter.
