Maintaining the PC Virus Protection A PC virus can destroy information on the hard disk drive. You can get a virus from infected files accessed from: ■ An e-mail message or attachment ■ Files downloaded from the Internet ■ A diskette (floppy disk) ■ A CD or DVD disc Some viruses affect your PC immediately, while others may activate only if you open a certain file, or do not delete the file before a certain date. Norton AntiVirus is available on your PC with pre-set options that make your PC safe. Your PC is scanned for viruses after you enable the Norton AntiVirus application. You should take the following precautions to protect your PC: ■ Do not open unsolicited e-mail from unknown sources. ■ Download files only from sources you feel are safe. ■ Always scan documents for viruses before opening. ■ Make sure you have the latest version of Norton AntiVirus.
