All computers at JSRCC have antivirus programs installed and are updated each day with the latest definitions.

Viruses, Worms, and Trojans

If your home computer is not running properly or displays unusual symptoms, you may have a virus, worm, or trojan.  It is imperative that you purchase an antivirus program and keep it up to date as new strains of viruses are always appearing.

Some of the popular antivirus programs are:

• Symantec's Norton Antivirus
• McAfee's VirusScan

(The above links are provided for information purposes and do not constitute an endorsement from JSRCC.)

Symantec provides current information about new viruses and provides removal instructions on their Website.

Preventing Viruses

• Do not open any email attachments unless you are expecting to receive them

• Keep your operating system patched and up-to-date

• Set your antivirus software to scan in the background  whenever your computer is on.

• Do a complete scan of your system on a regular basis.
