Protect your notebook from viruses

When you use your 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 ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be updated.

Norton AntiVirus software is preinstalled on your notebook:

■ Your version of Norton AntiVirus software includes 60 days of free updates. It is strongly recommended that you protect your notebook against new viruses beyond 60 days by purchasing extended update service.

■ Instructions for using and updating your Norton AntiVirus software and for purchasing extended update service are provided within the application.

■ To access your Norton AntiVirus software, select Start > All Programs > Norton Internet Security.
