Antivirus Software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet

viruses can disable your operating system, applications, or
utilities or cause them to function abnormally. Antivirus software
can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases, repair
damage they have caused.
To protect your computer against viruses, it is recommended that
you use antivirus software. To provide protection against newly
discovered viruses, the antivirus software must be updated.
