Avast! Free Antivirus

November 27, 2015 - Avast (The Free Antivirus) is currently being installed on every computer unit at CED Library.

You can download the antivirus at this url: www.avast.com





Cases of virus and corrupted files have become rampant this week. The College of Education (CED) Library computer units are no exemption to this issue. Being publicly used by library patrons, the risk of virus infection on the computer units is high. Possible culprit for this matter is that students might have attached an infected external hard drive or flash drive on the computer units. An automatic scan on these drives takes place after the user attach a flash drive to the unit, however, not all viruses and/or malwares are being detected by the installed scanner. Some malwares are able to penetrate and install themselves on the computer system.
