Be Suspicious of Pop-Ups Alerting You of a Virus or Malware Infection
Please be suspicious of any pop-ups that alert you to virus or malware infection of the ThinkPad unless they come from Symantec Anti-Virus or Symantec Endpoint Protection. Be cautious of any programs offering to remove viruses or spyware for a fee, as these are often viruses/malware themselves. Please remember the Service Desk offers virus and malware cleanup free of charge as a service of the ThinkPad program. If you have questions, please visit http://help.wfu.edu/security or call 336-758-HELP (4357).
