Using the Norton Internet Security Antivirus Software

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

Antivirus software can detect most viruses, remove them, and, in most cases, repair any damage that they have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, you must keep antivirus software up to date.

Norton Internet Security, an antivirus software program, is preinstalled on your computer and includes a free trial subscription of protection updates. You can enable Symantec’s LiveUpdate™ to obtain updates automatically whenever you are online. Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that you protect the computer against new viruses beyond the trial period by purchasing an extended update service.
