Antivirus Software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet
access, you expose the computer to computer viruses. Computer
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.
Antivirus software is preinstalled on the computer.
■ The software includes free updates for a limited period of
time. It is strongly recommended that you protect your
computer against new viruses by purchasing extended update
service.
■ Instructions for using and updating antivirus software and for
purchasing extended update service are provided with the
application.
■ To view and access the software preinstalled on your
computer, select Start > All Programs.
