Anti-Virus Guide

All computers need virus protection. You should have an anti-virus program running at all times

Don’t rely on a free program. You should have either Norton Anti-Virus, or McAfee Virus Scan.

New computer viruses are being created all of the time, so it’s important to update your virus definitions at least twice a month.

To update your virus protection:
Norton Anti-Virus-
1) Connect to the Internet
2) Go to ‘Start’, ‘Programs’, and click ‘Norton AntiVirus’.
3) Select ‘Live Update- Norton AntiVirus’, and follow the directions.

McAfee Virus Scan-

Updating VirusScan 5.x
