• We use McAfee Virus Scan software – with VShield running memory-resident to catch infected diskettes. We update our viral data files every six weeks, and so should you. • The lab computers are not bootable from the a: drive, protecting the hard drive from boot viruses. (Note: boot viruses are NOT spread through networks.) • McAfee Virus Scan scans the local boot sector and executable files every time the computer is turned on. • McAfee Virus Scan is available from the Start menu under Programs. Please use this application to scan your diskettes. Where can I find more information? Yahoo has a comprehensive list of web sites devoted to viruses and virus protection software.
