TV Program Guide

Media Center includes an onscreen TV guide that allows you to scroll through a list of the TV programs and channels available from your TV provider. The very ﬁrst time you start Media Center, the setup wizard will ask, “Do you want to use the Guide?,” to which you should answer Yes. The TV guide shows the channel, program title, and scheduled time for current programs and upcoming programs. The number of days shown in the guide depends on your TV service provider. When you select a program, further information is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can also use the TV guide to schedule recordings.

Using the TV Program Guide

• If the TV guide is not updated, the number of days displayed decreases each day.

•You can set Media Center to automatically connect to the Internet and update the TV guide. Note that not all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) support this feature. Check with your ISP.

• If your ISP does not support automatic TV guide updates, you must update the guide manually on the Settings screen. You can manually update the TV guide at any time even if you have set it to update automatically.

• If the TV guide is not updated, the message “No data available” appears next to each channel.

• The number of channels and days that appear in the TV guide depends on your TV service provider.

• The TV guide does not show past TV programs.

• If you attempt to schedule a recording that overlaps with an already scheduled recording, a message appears explaining the conﬂict.

About Security

What’s a Computer Virus?

A computer virus is a self-replicating, malicious program that spreads by inserting itself into other ﬁles and infects a computer without the user’s knowledge. Infected ﬁles are easily spread across the Internet as downloadable ﬁles or e-mail attachments. Once on your computer, a virus may delete important ﬁles, make your computer unstable, or automatically send copies of itself to all of your e-mail contacts. Other types of virus include worms, trojan horses, and spyware. It’s very important that you take steps to protect your computer against these viruses.

How To Protect Your Computer

■ Patching Security Holes

One of the most important protective measures you can take is to patch any security holes by updating your Windows that take advantage of security holes is increasing. Even if you are using antivirus software, your computer is still vulnerable to viruses if you have not patched these security holes. Software manufacturers regularly discover new security holes and release patches and updates to ﬁx them.

Check the Web regularly for Windows update your computer as necessary.

■ Symantec Norton Internet Security

The NVS-7.7 comes with Symantec Norton Internet Security antivirus software (bundle version) preinstalled. Because new viruses are discovered all the time, it needs to be updated regularly, which can be done automatically by using the LiveUpdate function. The preinstalled software comes with a free 90-day subscription to LiveUpdate. After 90 days, you’ll need to renew your subscription, which you can do online at the Symantec Web site (http://www.symantec.com/).

■ Always Check Mail Attachments and Downloaded Files for Viruses

Never open an e-mail attachment you weren’t expecting, especially one from someone you don’t know, as it may contain a virus. Always check attachments and downloaded ﬁles for viruses before you open them.
