I think I have a virus, what should I do?


Download and install Symantec AntiVirus software at:

Once you have installed the software, use its LiveUpdate feature to obtain the latest virus definitions, then run a full system scan. It is typically more effective to run the scan in safe mode, although it takes a bit longer.
