Frequently Asked Questions
Question
I received an email that
is known to contain a virus. Is my computer now
infected? If so, what should I do.
Answer
Not necessarily. Most
viruses are transferred via an attachment file. If you
do not open these attachments, your computer is
probably not infected. However, it is a good idea to
run the McAfee VirusScan program. Be sure you have run
the virus definition file update (see note below).
Then click on Start/Programs/Network Associates/VirusScan.
Now select the Scan Now button. This will take a few
minutes, so plan to do this when you do not need the
computer for a while.
NOTE: It is very important to keep your virus
definition files updated. A current definition file is
