Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have caused.
Your notebook may come preinstalled with Norton AntiVirus software. For more information about using this software:
Refer to the online Help file within the Norton AntiVirus
software.
Refer to the notebook’s online Help and Support Center by
selecting Start > Help and Support.
To provide protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be updated frequently. For more information about virus updates for the Norton AntiVirus software, refer to the Web site at
http://www.symantec.com.
