Protect the Notebook from Viruses
When you use the notebook for email, network, or Internet
access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer
viruses can disable QuickPlay or your Windows operating system
and applications 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 software is preinstalled on your notebook
and
accessed through Windows.
