Virus Protection
A computer virus can destroy information on the
hard drive. You can get a virus from infected files
accessed from:
■ An e-mail message or attachment
■ Downloading files from the Internet
■ A diskette (floppy disk)
■ A CD or DVD disc
Some viruses 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 pre-set options that make your computer safe.
Your computer is scanned for viruses after you
enable the Norton AntiVirus application.
You should take the following precautions to
protect your computer:
■ Do not open unsolicited e-mail 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.
