Getting Started (features vary by model)
Using antivirus software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, you expose it to
computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, software programs,
or utilities, or cause them to function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases repair any
damage that viruses may have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly
discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to date.
The Norton Internet Security program, which is preinstalled on the computer, includes
antivirus and firewall components. The software includes a free update period. It is
strongly recommended that you protect the computer against new viruses beyond the free
period by purchasing extended update service. Instructions for using and updating Norton
Internet Security software, and for purchasing extended update service, are provided
within the program.
To open and access Norton Internet Security:
1 Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.
2 Click All Programs .
3 Click Norton Internet Security , and then click Norton Internet Security in
the list.
See “Using the Norton Internet Security Antivirus Software” for more information about
using the Norton antivirus software.
For more information about computer viruses, type viruses into the Search Help box in the
Help and Support Center.
Using firewall software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons
may be able to gain access to information about you, the computer, and your data. To
protect your privacy, use firewall software. Microsoft Windows Vista includes firewall
software preinstalled on the computer. Also, Norton Internet Security, which is preinstalled
on the computer, includes a firewall program.
Firewall features include logging, reporting, and automatic alarms to monitor all incoming
and outgoing communications.
To open and access Norton Internet Security:
1 Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.
2 Click All Programs .
3 Click Norton Internet Security , and then click Norton Internet Security in
the list.
Under some circumstances, a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with
printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To solve the
problem temporarily, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and
then enable the firewall again. To resolve the problem permanently, reconfigure the
firewall.
