3 Using antivirus software When you use the computer to access the Internet or connect to a network, you expose it to viruses that can disable the computer and damage computer files. Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases, repair any damage they have caused. To provide ongoing protection against viruses, keep your antivirus software up to date. Norton Internet Security, an antivirus program, is preinstalled on the computer. The software 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. Instructions for using and updating Norton Internet Security software and for purchasing extended update service are provided within the program. To view and access Norton Internet Security, select Start > All Programs. For more information about computer viruses, type viruses in the Search field in Help and Support. 7
