Symantec Norton AntiVirus (setup file on the hard drive)
Symantec
With Norton AntiVirus, you can scan files, folders, or entire drives for viruses, and quarantine infected files
for submission to the Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC). Files submitted to SARC are analyzed and
the results are reported automatically within seven days. When you configure Norton AntiVirus adequately,
your computer is safe. Norton AntiVirus can automatically check boot records for viruses at system startup,
check programs for viruses at the time you use them, scan all local hard drives for viruses once per week, and
monitor your computer for any activity that might indicate the work of a virus in action. It can also scan files
you download from the Internet and check floppy disks for boot viruses when you use them.
You must launch the Norton AntiVirus installation, and you will then be prompted to update the virus
definitions. This is normal as new viruses will have come out since your VAIO left the factory.

This Internet telephone software turns your PC into a phone, allowing you to make low cost telephone calls
to any ordinary telephone in the world, straight from your PC. Because most of the journey your phone call
makes is over the Internet, call rates are very low compared to those of regular phone companies.
