Preface

Notice of Computer Security

The Windows operating system on this computer provides the Security Center, which
manages the security features of your computer. It provides the status of the following
security functions and enables you to change their settings: Firewall, Automatic
Updates, and Virus Protection.
By default, the three functions are enabled in the Security Center to ensure the safety
of the computer. If one of them or more are disabled, Windows alerts you by
displaying the message "Your computer might be at risk." in the notification area
located above the taskbar.
To open the Security Center, click start – Control Panel – Security Center.
Firewall
The firewall function blocks unauthorized connection to this computer through the
Internet or a network.
Automatic Updates
The automatic updates function periodically detects new security programs to be
installed and automatically installs them.
Virus Protection
The Norton AntiVirus software, which automatically checks the virus infection, is
preinstalled in this computer. To protect the computer against new viruses and other
security threats, the virus definition file of the software must be updated. The virus
protection function monitors whether the definition file is latest.
When the Windows setup is finished, be sure to complete the Norton AntiVirus
wizard and LiveUpdate to update the definition file. (You must establish the
connection to the Internet for the update.)
After completing the Norton AntiVirus wizard and LiveUpdate;
* The Windows Security Center always displays as ON regardless of the definition file
status. Since the preinstalled Norton Antivirus software manages virus check on
your computer, be sure to perform the LiveUpdate.
* You can enable the LiveUpdate automatically to run and update the file if any
updates are detected. (Refer to the Virus Protection section on page A-7.)
