Technical Bulletins	Description
Important Security Features of the Marksman/Ranger2 Nav Computer –No 11-003	The latest Windows XP Image (8026-051-A/B) on the Marksman / Ranger2 Nav Computer has additional security features to minimise the risk of virus infections and system tampering. These include pre-installed antivirus software and a dual login feature. Note that this does not affect the NavPCs used for any other software products.
How to disable the Autorun functionality in Nav Computer (Windows XP)- No 10-005	Removable USB/thumb drives use the Autorun feature to load files when the drives are plugged into the USB port. Malware exploits the Autorun feature to spread from the thumb drive to computer, so we need to disable the Autorun feature to prevent malware from spreading.
