4 Next steps Protecting the computer The information in this section explains how to protect the computer from damage caused by a virus, a security breach, a power surge, or system failure. Protecting the computer from viruses When you use the computer for e-mail or Internet access, you expose it to computer viruses that can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities or cause them to function abnormally. Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases, repair damage they have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to date. Norton Internet Security is preinstalled on the computer: ● Your version of Norton Internet Security includes 60 days of free updates. It is strongly recommended that you protect the computer against new viruses beyond 60 days by purchasing extended update service. ● To access Norton Internet Security or get more information about it, select Start > All Programs > Norton Internet Security.
