What you can do to protect your computer against the threat of unsafe software and other risks.
Computer viruses can modify programs, delete files and erase the contents of hard drives.
The potential consequence of any of these threats could include damage to your personal computer, compromise of your secret information and the inability to use your Scotia OnLine software. Install and keep up to date a proven anti-virus product. Only accept or download software from a source that you believe to be trusted. There are additional vulnerabilities associated with having a computer directly connected to the Internet for an extended period of time. These methods of connection do not require the 'dialing' into the Internet and thus are sometimes described as 'always on' connections.
