Antivirus Software
When you use the notebook for e-mail, network, or Internet
access, you expose the notebook 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 provide
protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software
must be updated.
Norton AntiVirus software is preinstalled on your notebook.
■
Your version of Norton AntiVirus software includes 60 days
of free updates. It is strongly recommended that you protect
your notebook against new viruses beyond 60 days by
purchasing extended update service.
■
Instructions for using and updating your Norton AntiVirus
software and for purchasing extended update service are
provided within the application.
■
To access your Norton AntiVirus software, select
Start >
All Programs > Norton AntiVirus.
