Protecting Your Data From Viruses; Cleaning The Drive Case - Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 User Manual

Protecting Your Data from Viruses

One of the greatest threats to your data comes from viruses.
These nasty-sounding creatures are insidious programs created by
malefactors. Some viruses are designed to render your computer
inoperable; others will erase files. The worst part is you may not be
aware that your system has been infected until it's too late.
The most common way computers catch viruses is by downloading
and sharing infected files via e-mail and other Internet services. You
can protect your data against viruses by using ant-virus software.
These programs are designed to seek out and eradicate or quarantine
viruses before they can cause damage. There are a number of good
anti-virus programs on the market.

Cleaning the Drive Case

Always unplug all cables from the Drive before cleaning it. Clean
the Drive using a soft, dry cloth. For tough dirt, dampen a soft
cloth with some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water;
wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the Drive with a dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol, paint thinner, or other chemicals; they may damage
the case materials.
