Other Security Threats
Your Joybook comes with an anti-virus software CD, and be sure to install the
anti-virus software from the disc supplied. Doing so helps you to avoid unex-
pected destruction of your precious data in Joybook and keeps your privacy
against any unauthorized access from other computers.
However, we would still recommend that you back up your data regularly on CDs,
DVDs or other storage media, since the anti-virus software may not be able to
intercept all existing and new viruses, which may lead to destruction of all or some
of your data in the Joybook.
For more information about how to use the anti-virus software installed, please
refer to the on-line help that comes with the software.
For more information on how to use Nero Express, please consult the on-line Help
by clicking the icon on the Nero Express welcome window and then select
