How to Protect the Virus

Follow these tips to minimize your virus risk :

*Make sure automatic protection is turned on at all times. Automatic protection is already set up for you when you install Norton AntiVirus using the preset options.    

*Perform a manual scan (or schedule a scan to occur automatically) of your hard disks weekly. These scans supplement automatic protection and confirm that your computer is virus-free. A scan is already scheduled to run automatically once per week when you install Norton AntiVirus using the preset options.

*Scan all floppy disks before first use.

*Enable Automatic LiveUpdate to update your virus definition files.

*Create and maintain a Norton AntiVirus rescue disk set to facilitate recovery from certain boot viruses.

*Make periodic backups of your hard disk.

*Buy legal copies of all software you use and make write-protected backups.

*Don't open email messages and email attachments from people you don't know. Verify that the "author" of the email has sent the attachments. Newer viruses can send email messages that appear to be from you know.

*Do not set your email program to "auto-run" attachments.

*Disable email preview in MS Outlook and Outlook Express.

*Password protect your shared networks drives.
