Using Internet security software
When you use your tablet to access email, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose your tablet to
viruses, spyware, and other online threats. To help protect your tablet, Internet security software that
includes antivirus and firewall features may be preinstalled on your tablet as a trial offer. To provide ongoing
protection against newly discovered viruses and other security risks, security software must be kept up to
date. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade the security software trial offer or purchase the software
of your choice in order to fully protect your tablet.
Using antivirus software
Viruses can disable programs, utilities, or the operating system, 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 kept up to date.
An antivirus program may be preinstalled on your tablet. It is strongly recommended that you use the
antivirus program of your choice in order to fully protect your tablet.
