Protecting your notebook from viruses
A
virus
is a program that attaches itself to a file on a computer, then spreads from
one computer to another. Viruses can damage data or cause your computer to
malfunction. Some viruses go undetected for a period of time because they are
activated on a certain date.
Protect your computer from a virus by:
•
Subscribing to Norton 360 for regular virus and spyware protection updates.
•
Using Norton 360 to check files and programs that are attached to e-mail
messages or downloaded from the Internet.
•
Checking all programs for viruses before installing them.
•
Disabling macros on suspicious Microsoft Word and Excel files. These programs
will warn you if a document that you are opening contains a macro that might
have a virus.
•
Making sure that the Windows Security Center is configured to provide you with
the highest level of protection.
How to scan for and remove Internet threats
