How do you know if you have a virus on your computer and if so how do you get rid of it? Well, if you didn't log in to Higgins on Tuesday, January 9, then you survived. This doesn't mean you don't have any viruses on your computer, it simply means you didn't get the Little Red virus from the server. When in doubt scan!, scan!, scan!!!! McAfee's VirusScan identifies Little Red. It is available from any of the WPI Novell Servers in the o:\sharewar\scan directory. Copy the files to a clean, bootable floppy disk. If you do find a virus on your computer use the clean command to remove it from your harddrive or disks. If you believe you have a virus but are having problems removing it or are unsure how to remove it, please come to the CCC Shop and they will supply you with a clean, bootable floppy disk with the latest version of McAfee VirusScan program on it.
Please take all the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of viruses. Always scan any new disk you introduce to your computer as well as periodically scanning your hard drive. The scan program is constantly updated to find new viruses. Be sure to keep up to date with the newest version. WPI is licensed to distibute the latest version of McAfee VirusScan to all WPI users without a registration fee. We will continue to keep you updated on viruses as well as any other new information from the CCC.
