You should take the following precautions in order to protect your
new computer:

Only download files from sources you feel are safe
Always scan documents for viruses before opening
Make sure you have the latest version of Norton Anti-Virus

Follow these guidelines when preparing the computer for shipping:

magnetic impulses
Remove any diskette, CD, or DVD from the drive and store it
separately
