Getting Started (features vary by model)
Using the Norton Internet Security Antivirus
Software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, you expose it to
computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable or damage your operating system,
software programs, or computer utilities.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, remove them, and, in most cases, repair any
damage that they have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered
viruses, you must keep antivirus software up to date.
Norton Internet Security, an antivirus software program, is preinstalled on your computer
and includes a free trial subscription of protection updates. You can enable Symantec’s
LiveUpdate™ to obtain updates automatically whenever you are online. Hewlett-Packard
strongly recommends that you protect the computer against new viruses beyond the trial
period by purchasing an extended update service.
