Virus Protection

Antivirus software is installed on your notebook. When you are connected to the Admin
domain on the school's network, one of the first software updates you will receive will be
for your antivirus software.

Ways to avoid virus contamination

Be aware that sharing any file exposes the notebook to possible virus contamination.
Scan all files to be copied or opened from the notebook before loading. This includes files
on portable disks, zip disks, the school's network, or files copied from the internet.
When downloading files from the internet, or viewing attachments via e-mail, be aware
that the risk of virus contamination is high. If a virus scan is performed before a file is
opened, the risk of contaminating the notebook is minimised.
