Protecting your computer 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.
