New types of viruses are invented all the time. Be sure to get regular updates of your virus-scanning software from the program manufacturer. If a software program or the operating system gets damaged, you can reinstall the software. Refer to "Using Application Recovery and System Recovery" on page 79 for details. When your PC has software problems, it's possible that a voltage spike, power failure, or blackout has occurred. Symptoms of voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected computer startups, and the computer not responding to your commands. A voltage spike can occasionally corrupt or destroy files, so it is a good idea to consistently make backup copies of your data files. Prevent voltage spikes by installing a surge suppressor, made for use with computers, between the power outlet and the computer power cord. Making Recovery CDs In the unlikely event that there is damage to the hard disk drive, or you have to replace it, you must use recovery CDs to reinstall the operating system and software. Make the recovery CDs for your PC by using HP Recovery CD Creator now, before a need occurs; refer to "Using HP Recovery CD Creator" on page 83. This program assembles the necessary files and writes the information to CDs. 8 HP Pavilion home PC
