Using Internet security software
When you use your tablet to access email, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose your
tablet to tablet viruses, spyware, and other online threats. To help protect your tablet, Internet security
software that includes antivirus and firewall features may be preinstalled on your tablet as a trial offer.
To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses and other security risks, security
software must be kept up to date. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade the security software
trial offer or purchase the software of your choice in order to fully protect your tablet.
Using antivirus software
Computer viruses can disable programs, utilities, or the operating system, or cause them to function
abnormally. Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases, repair any
damage they have caused.
To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to
date.
An antivirus program may be preinstalled on your tablet. It is strongly recommended that you use the
antivirus program of your choice in order to fully protect your tablet.
