Important anti-virus information for all Virginia Tech computer users. Also make sure that the sender intended to send you an attachment.
Many viruses automatically send out attachments without the sender's knowledge.
I have a Microsoft Windows computer. Virginia Tech offers Norton AntiVirus for free download to all students, faculty, and staff. Instructions for downloading and installing Norton AntiVirus are included on the web page. This may seem like overkill, but new computer viruses are released all the time and the only way to ensure that you have the latest protection is to run Norton's LiveUpdate once a week. Norton AntiVirus uses the virus definitions to detect and remove viruses from your computer.
