Virus Protection

A computer virus can destroy information on the
hard drive. You can get a virus from infected files
accessed from:

■ An e-mail message or attachment
■ Downloading files from the Internet
■ A diskette (floppy disk)
■ A CD or DVD disc

Some viruses 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 AntiVirus is installed on your computer
with pre-set options that make your computer safe.
Your computer is scanned for viruses after you
enable the Norton AntiVirus application.

You should take the following precautions to
protect your computer:

■ Do not open unsolicited e-mail from unknown

sources.

■ Download files only from sources you feel

are safe.

■ Always scan documents for viruses before

opening.

■ Make sure you have the latest version of

Norton AntiVirus.
