Protecting from a Virus

A computer virus can destroy information on the hard drive. You can
get a virus through:

An infected diskette

A CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R or DVD-RW disc

E-mail messages and attachments

Infected files downloaded from the Internet

Some viruses will affect your computer immediately, while others
may activate only if you open a certain file or do not delete them
before a certain date.

Norton Anti-Virus is ready to install on your computer with preset
options that make your computer safe. Your computer will be scanned
for viruses as you install the Norton Anti-Virus application.
