Using antivirus software
When you use the computer to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose it to
computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to
function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have
caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up
to date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled on your computer. It is strongly recommended that you continue to use an
antivirus program in order to fully protect your computer.
For more information about computer viruses, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant,
type support in the taskbar search box, and then select the HP Support Assistant app.
