Reference Guide 25
To attach a security cable
Your notebook includes a built-in connector to allow you to secure the notebook
with a cable and a lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at
many notebook stores).
1. Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg.
2. Insert the cable into the security cable slot on the notebook.
3. Lock it with the cable lock key, then store the key in a safe place away from the
notebook.
To protect against viruses
Virus-protection software can help protect the integrity of your data. This is
especially important if you use the Web.
Your notebook comes equipped with Norton AntiVirus software.
Because new viruses appear frequently, you will also want to update the program
virus definitions from time to time. Norton AntiVirus updates are on the Web at
www.symantec.com. You can also get detailed instructions from the program’s
online Help.
