About the Computer Virus

If a program or data suddenly becomes corrupt, an unexpected operation occurs, or an
abnormal screen appears, the infection of the PC by a computer virus must be suspected.
The computer virus refers to a malicious program that surreptitiously invades the PC, runs
the PC uncontrollably, or damages data. By the same token, the program that
detects/eliminates computer viruses is referred to as anti-virus software.
The PC and the recording media provided with the system are checked with anti-virus software
before they are shipped from the factory.
PCs can be infected by a virus through interchangeable storage media, such as virus-infected
CDs, DVDs, a USB-connected flash memory units, or through the network. Do not use files that
pose a risk of infection by a computer virus.
Before connecting interchangeable storage media or the network, be sure to check it with
anti-virus software with the most up to date virus definitions. When connecting to the network,
HHT recommends the establishment of a firewall as an anti-computer virus measure between
the system and the network. Setting up a firewall is a customer responsibility. HHT does not
warrant that all computer viruses can be prevented by setting up a firewall.
If there are concerns about a computer virus infection, check your system by using anti-virus
software.
Procuring anti-virus software and removing the viruses are a customer responsibility.
Remember that some anti-virus programs may not be able to remove all computer viruses.
HHT does not warrant anti-virus software products themselves.
Some virus detection/eradiation programs, when made memory resident, can have an
adverse impact on the operation of the Tabletop Microscope. If a problem arises after
anti-virus software is installed, either uninstall the anti-virus software or make it non-resident
(by not registering it in the Startup program. Alternatively, perform operations such as
manually starting it when the Tabletop Microscope control program is not running, detecting
the viruses, and closing it when the virus detection process is finished, or conducting the
scanning process when the control program for the system is not running.
