Protecting your computer
It is vital to protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the
Internet (see
Internet security offer
on page 36 and
Security
on page
56). A comprehensive Internet security program is offered when you
first start your computer. You should activate this protection as soon
as possible, certainly before you connect to the Internet.
Choose an Internet Service Provider
Using the Internet has become a natural part of daily
computing. Just a few simple steps can connect you
to a vast collection of knowledge and communication
tools. To accomplish these steps you should first select
an
Internet Service Provider
(ISP), which supplies the
connection between your computer and the Internet.
You should research the ISPs available in your region,
not forgetting to talk to friends and family about their experiences or
to check reviews and consumer reports. The ISP you select will provide
instructions on how to connect to the Internet (you may need
additional software or a special ‘box’ that connects to your phone
line).
