Virus Protection
A computer virus can destroy information on the hard drive. You
can get a virus from infected files accessed from:
■ A diskette
■ A CD or DVD disc
■ An email message or attachment
■ The Internet (only when downloading files)
Some viruses will affect your computer immediately, while
others may activate only if you open a certain file or do not delete
them before a certain date.
Norton AntiVirus is installed on your computer with preset
options that make your computer safe. Your computer will be
scanned for viruses after you enable the Norton AntiVirus
application.
You should take the following precautions in order to protect your
computer:
■ Do not open unsolicited email from unknown sources.
■ Download files only from sources you feel are safe.
■ Always scan documents for viruses before opening.
■ Make sure you have the latest version of Norton AntiVirus.
You can obtain free upgrades for six months from the date you
register Norton AntiVirus. To download the latest version of the
antivirus application, go to www.norton.com.
