Virus Protection
If you use the notebook for email or to access the World Wide
Web, you risk infecting the system with a computer virus. You
can protect the notebook from infection by installing antivirus
software.
Several products available on the market will detect the virus,
destroy it, and repair any damage it causes. Contact your
authorized Compaq retailer for details.
Backup Utilities
To protect the information on your notebook and retrieve lost or
damaged files, you should back up your files regularly to
diskettes or other backup media.
To do a partial backup of selected files or folders, use backup
devices such as diskettes. To do a complete hard drive backup,
use tape drives or other high-capacity backup devices. Contact
your authorized Compaq retailer for details.
