Using antivirus software
When you use the computer to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you expose the computer to
computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, applications, or utilities, 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 updated.
Norton Internet Security is preinstalled on the computer. For information about using the Norton Internet
Security software, select
Start > All Programs > Norton Internet Security > Help and Support .
For more information about computer viruses, type
viruses
in the Search box in Help and Support.
