Virus Infections in the Labs

All computers in the academic computing labs are protected from viruses with the Norton AntiVirus V 5.0 software.

If a student has a virus on his/her diskette, Norton will either clean it or quarantine the file (if it cannot disinfect it).  A dialog box will appear indicating that a virus has been detected and what action has been taken.

If a student downloads a virus onto the computer, Norton will either clean or quarantine the file (disinfect it).  Once again, a dialog box will appear indicating that a virus has been detected and the action that has been taken.

If you have a problem with viruses in the lab or have an infected  diskette, please check with the staff person on duty.
