Surge protectors are available from most computer or electronics
retailers.
Protecting Your Notebook
When you use your notebook to access a network or the Internet,
you expose the notebook to security and privacy threats in the
form of viruses, worms, and hackers. These security and privacy
occurrences can potentially disable the notebook operating
system, software applications, and personal files. Using a
combination of software and hardware security measures can
significantly help in the prevention, the detection, and often the
repair of these occurrences.
1–8 Startup Guide
Hardware and Software Setup
Using Security Software Measures
Compaq recommends that you follow these 3 protective security
software measures to improve your notebook security and to
reduce the severity of security access threats.
Step Use this Security Measure For More Information
1 Install antivirus software before
connecting to the Internet or a
network. (Some notebook
models are shipped with
antivirus software.)
Keep the virus definition files up
to date to maintain protection
against newly discovered
viruses.
2 Install Microsoft Windows®
updates by downloading the
updates as they become
available.
3 Install the Microsoft Internet
Connection Firewall or an
equivalent firewall.
Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/antivirus
Symantec:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com
Refer to the online Help File within
the antivirus software.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Refer to the Help and Support
Center. Select Start > Help &
Support. Enter “Firewall” in the
Search field and press enter.
Using a firewall can block access to Internet games, or to printer
✎
and file sharing within a network. If this occurs, you can disable
the firewall or contact your firewall provider for configuration
information. Disabling the firewall will leave you unprotected.
