Protect the Notebook from Viruses

When you use the notebook for e-mail, network, or Internet access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer viruses can damage or disable your operating system, applications, or utilities.

Norton AntiVirus software is preinstalled on your notebook to protect against such viruses. Norton Antivirus software can detect and destroy most viruses, and usually repair damage they have caused. To provide protection against newly discovered viruses, Norton Antivirus software must be periodically updated.
