Automatic Updates
The automatic updates function periodically detects new security programs to be

Virus Protection
The Norton AntiVirus software, which automatically checks the virus infection, is
preinstalled in this computer. To protect the computer against new viruses and other
security threats, the virus definition file of the software must be updated. The virus
protection function monitors whether the definition file is latest. On your computer
with the preinstalled Norton AntiVirus software, however, the software monitors the
definition file and notifies you when the file needs to be updated.
When the Windows setup is finished, be sure to complete the Norton AntiVirus
wizard and LiveUpdate to update the definition file. (You must establish the
connection to the Internet for the update.)
After completing the Norton AntiVirus wizard and LiveUpdate;
* The
Virus Protection in the Windows Security Center always displays as ON
regardless of the definition file status. Since the preinstalled Norton Antivirus
software manages virus check on your computer, be sure to perform the
LiveUpdate.
