Protect the computer

The information in this section is designed to protect the
computer from damage caused by a virus, a security breach,
a power surge, or unsafe operation.

Protect the computer from viruses

When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet
access, you expose it to computer viruses that can disable the
operating system, applications, or utilities 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.
Norton AntiVirus is preinstalled on the computer. For information
about using the Norton AntiVirus software, click Start > All
Programs > Norton AntiVirus > Help and Support.
For more information about computer viruses, type

Protect your system files

back up the system and to recover optimal system functionality.
