The username and password can also be entered or modified after installation in the Update section of the Control Center.

Specify your Internet connection details in this window. If unsure about proxy server details, leave the default selection. If your Internet Explorer works properly, the default selection should be the correct option.

It is vitally important to use the resident (on-access) antivirus module - AMON. AMON should be launched automatically at system startup. Make sure no other antivirus resident modules are installed on your computer to avoid compatibility problems. Special caution is recommended on Windows NT systems.
