Troubleshooting

8 - 4 Viruses

Viruses

• Install an Anti-Virus program and keep the definitions file (the file which tells your program

which viruses to look for) up to date. New computer viruses are discovered daily, and some of

them may seriously harm your computer and cause you to lose data. Anti-Virus programs are

commercially available and the definitions file updates are usually downloadable directly from

the internet.

• Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you don’t know. Viruses are often triggered from

within e-mail attachments so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most

Anti-Virus programs to check all e-mail attachments. Note: You should also beware of files

from people you know as the virus may have infected an address book and been automatically

forwarded without the person’s knowledge.

• Keep a “Boot Floppy Disk” or “Bootable CD-ROM” (this disk provides basic information

which allows you to startup your computer) handy. You may refer to your OS’s documentation for

instructions on how to make one, and many Anti-Virus programs will also provide such a disk (or

at least instructions on how to make one).
