Protect the Notebook from Viruses

When you use the notebook for email, connecting to a network,
or Internet access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses.
Computer viruses can damage or disable your operating system,
applications, and utilities.
Norton AntiVirus software is preinstalled on your notebook to
protect against such viruses. Norton Antivirus software can detect
and destroy most viruses, and usually repair damage they have
caused. To provide protection against newly discovered viruses,
Norton Antivirus software must be periodically updated.
