Virus Protection

It is your responsibility to:

  • Protect information resources through requirements for the prevention and detection of malicious code
  • Mitigate potential liability from propagating malicious code
This means that if you suspect an e-mail attachment contains a virus or other malicious code, you should definitely not open it or forward it. This will cause the virus to spread and has the potential for causing very serious damage to not only your computer, but also the entire computer network. Follow the agency's helpdesk instructions for what you should do. Remember, it is your responsibility to protect information resources. You will be subject to disciplinary action if any problems occur because you removed or bypassed the virus protection software.
