Protecting your computer from 
viruses
virus is a program that attaches itself to a file on a computer, then spreads 
from one computer to another. Viruses can damage data or cause your 
computer to malfunction. Some viruses go undetected for a period of time, 
because they are activated on a certain date.
Protect your computer from a virus by:
Using your Norton
®
 AntiVirus program to check files and programs that 
are on diskettes, attached to e-mail messages, or downloaded from the 
Internet.
Checking all programs for viruses before installing them.
Disabling macros on suspicious Microsoft Word and Excel files. These 
programs will warn you if a document that you are opening contains a 
macro that might have a virus.
You should periodically update your Norton AntiVirus program to protect 
against the latest viruses.
