Security - Windows Vista and Windows XP

4 Using antivirus software

When you use the computer to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you expose the computer 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.

McAfee Total Protection antivirus software is preinstalled on the computer. To access your software,

select Start > All Programs > McAfee > Managing Services > Total Protection.
