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. Computer viruses 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 updated.
Norton Internet Security software is preinstalled on the computer
(select models only). For information about using and updating
your Norton Internet Security software, click Start > All
Programs > Norton Internet Security > Help and Support.
