Basic Operation To Protect Against Viruses Virus-protection software can help protect the integrity of your data. This is especially important if you use the Web. Your notebook comes equipped with Norton AntiVirus software. Because new viruses appear frequently, you will also want to keep the program virus definitions up to date. Norton AntiVirus updates are on the Web at http://www.symantec.com. You can also get detailed instructions from the program's online Help. To Lock the Hard Drive The notebook enables you to lock its internal hard drive to help keep your information secure. Ä CAUTION: When you enable the hard drive lock, the current BIOS user password (or administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on the hard drive. If you move the hard drive to another notebook, you cannot access the drive until you set the user (or administrator) password to match the drive password. After you match the drive password, you can change the notebook (and drive) password. If you forget the password, you cannot recover your data. 1. Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart. 2. When the logo screen appears, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility. 3. From the Security menu, enable Password Required to Boot. 4. From the Security menu, enable Internal hard drive lock. 5. Press F10 to save and exit BIOS Setup. Reference Guide 2-15
