Norton AntiVirus

Norton AntiVirus is an anti-virus software that finds and repairs infected files, and protects against
viruses to keep you computer data safe and secure.

How do I check for viruses?

A Full System Scan scans all files on your computer. To perform a system scan:

1. Start Norton Antivirus: Double click on the Norton AntiVirus Icon on the desktop or click on the Start menu

in the Windows task bar, highlight Programs, and select Norton Antivirus.

2. In the Norton Antivirus main window, click Scans.

3. In the Scans panel, click Run Full System Scan.
4. When the scan is complete, a scan summary appears. Click Finished.

You can schedule customized virus scans that tun unattended on specific dates and times or at
periodic intervals. If you are using the computer when the scheduled scan begins, it runs in the
background so that you do not have to stop working.
For more information, please refer to the Norton AntiVirus Help menu.
