11. I seem to have a virus on my computer.
If you suspect your computer has been infected by a virus, you should first perform a virus
check to try to fix it and always observe some basic safe computing guidelines:
i.
Run an antivirus program
NEC has installed antivirus software on your computer. This program checks your computer
for viruses and will delete any suspicious file. Run this program regularly and make sure
you update it on the Internet and get the latest protection against malicious viruses.
Note
NEC guarantees that your computer is 100% virus free at the time of purchase and
does not cover damages due to viruses.
ii.
Use a Personal Firewall
A firewall is a security system designed to prevent unauthorised access to or from a private
network. It acts as a shield to block dangerous Internet threats and keep the information
on your computer safe and private.
iii.
DO NOT OPEN suspicious e-mail attachments
To be completely safe, scan the attachment with your antivirus software before you open
it. Delete any suspicious message from your Inbox and go into the Deleted Mail folder to
permanently remove it.
