Using firewall software

When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons may be able to gain access to information about you, the computer, and your data. To protect your privacy, use firewall software. Microsoft Windows Vista includes firewall software preinstalled on the computer. Also, Norton Internet Security, which is preinstalled on the computer, includes a firewall program.

Firewall features include logging, reporting, and automatic alarms to monitor all incoming and outgoing communications.

To open and access Norton Internet Security:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.

2Click All Programs.

3Click Norton Internet Security, and then click Norton Internet Security again.

Under some circumstances, a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily solve the problem, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then enable the firewall again. To permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.

Installing critical security updates

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information damage or loss from security breaches and computer viruses, install all critical updates from Microsoft as soon as you receive an alert.

Additional updates to the operating system and other software may have become available after the computer was shipped. Download all available updates and install them onto your computer. To get the latest updates for your computer, click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, click Help and Support, and then click Software, drivers, and BIOS updates.

Updates to Microsoft Windows Vista and other Microsoft programs are released periodically. You can obtain updates, as they are released, from the Microsoft Web site. You should also run Windows Vista Update monthly to install the latest software from Microsoft.
