A virus is a small part of a program that is capable of inserting itself in the code of another program, then spreading from
this program to another, and so on. Viruses can have different impacts on your PC, from displaying annoying messages to
damaging data. The regular use of updated antivirus software is the best way to protect your PC against a virus. You
should regularly scan the hard disk and any other disks you use for virus infections.
Your PC is installed with the VirusScan antivirus software. McAfee VirusScan and VShield can be accessed from the HP
data protection center. McAfee VirusScan also includes an on-access scanning component, Vshield, which intercepts and
scans programs before they are executed. However, Vshield will only be activated once you have agreed to the license
agreement that is displayed the first time you use VirusScan.
