Steps to protect

The first step in protecting your computer from any malicious there is to ensure that your operating system (OS) is up-to-date. This is essential if you are running a Microsoft Windows OS.

Secondly you should ensure that the latest, reliable virus software, including full anti-virus, Mail anti-virus, Web anti-virus, Anti spam, Anti-spy, anti hacker (Firewall and intrusion detection) is up to date with the latest database.

You must then follow the steps below:

1. FULL/DEEP Scan you computer at HIGH risk setting.
2. DELETE all files in the C:/windows/TEMP folder
3. DELETE all temporary internet files through your web browser
   1. I.E. TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>BROWSING HISTORY>TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES
   2. Firefox TOOLS>CLEAR RECENT HISTORY>CACHE
   3. It would be good practice to DELETE these files regularly.
4. Run another FULL/DEEP scan
5. Repeat the above steps on ALL computers on your network
6. Inform your IT technician if you are in school

Deleting the temporary files will do your computer no harm, quite the reverse. If you have a recycle bin make sure this is emptied after deleting the temporary files.
