Protecting the Tablet PC Against Viruses

When you use the tablet PC for email, network, or Internet access, you expose the tablet PC to computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, your applications, or your utilities or cause them to function abnormally.

Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have caused.

Compaq strongly recommends that you install antivirus software before you connect the tablet PC to the Internet or a network.

Antivirus software can be purchased from most computer or electronics retailers.
