Protecting from a Virus
A computer virus can destroy information on the hard drive. You can
get a virus through:
■
An infected diskette
■
A CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R or DVD-RW disc
■
E-mail messages and attachments
■
Infected files downloaded from the Internet
Some viruses will affect your computer immediately, while others
may activate only if you open a certain file or do not delete them
before a certain date.
Norton Anti-Virus is ready to install on your computer with preset
options that make your computer safe. Your computer will be scanned
for viruses as you install the Norton Anti-Virus application.
