Keeping Your Computers Virus Free

Scan any files that you download from the Internet with an Anti-virus program before opening.

Keep your anti-virus software up to date. Some viruses will travel through a network to find a computer to infect.

Be wary of e-mail attachments that you were not expecting. Do not open an attachment unless you know what the attachment is.

Always check to see if a virus warning is valid before forwarding it on to others. You can unnecessarily alarm others by sending a false virus warning to them.

Log on to a public profile and keep Centurion Guard locked unless you are intentionally making changes to your Gates Library Computer.

Spotting a Hoax

Spotting virus hoaxes by observing some common text shared by many warnings:

"This virus will wipe out your entire hard drive!"

"Forward this message to everyone you know."

"If you read the e-mail it will destroy your computer."

Most e-mail virus warnings are in reality, hoaxes - and can be thought of as pesky, but harmless viruses themselves. (usually just a scare tactic, or a test to see if your email address is responsive)

These hoaxes are sometimes sent to you by well meaning but uninformed people as well. Before you continue the so-called virus you should check to make sure it is a truthful or 'credible' message you are forwarding.

Any of the hoax information Web links can provide the information for you to decide if what you are reading is truth or fiction.
