Norton Internet Security
Norton Internet Security is an anti-virus utility that can protect against viruses, keeping your data safe and 
secure.
How do I check for viruses?
1.Double-click the Norton Internet Security icon on the Windows desktop.
2.Select Tasks & Scans.
3.Select Run Scan to scan your system.
4.When the scan is complete, review the results of the scan.
NOTE: For optimal security, run a Full System Scan when scanning your computer for the first time.
You can schedule customized virus scans that run unattended on specific dates and times or at periodic 
intervals. If you are using the computer when the scheduled scan begins, it runs in the background so that you 
do not have to stop working.
For more information refer to the Norton Internet Security help files.

Off • Mech. Off (G3): All devices in the system are turned off 
completely.
• Soft Off (G2/S5): OS initiated shutdown. All devices in the system 
are turned off completely.
On • Working (G0/S0): Individual devices such as the CPU and hard 
disc may be power managed in this state.
• Suspend to RAM (S3): CPU set power down, VGA Suspend, 
PCMCIA Suspend, Audio Power Down, Hard Disk Power Down, 
CD-ROM Power Down, and Super I/O Low Power mode.
• Save to Disk (S4): Also called Hibernation Mode. System saves 
all system states and data onto the disc prior to system shutdown.

BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your system’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output 
System). Since most systems are already properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility. 
The BIOS setup utility stores basic settings for your system. You will need to run this utility if you encounter 
configuration problems. Refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
Entering BIOS Setup
