Get Started
If your computer is showing any of these symptoms, it may be infected with malware or a virus. Follow the instructions below to remove malware and viruses from your computer and close major security holes in your operating system. If you have difficulty at any point, contact the IT Help Center.
Note: If your network connection has been turned off due to virus infection or detected vulnerabilities, please visit or call the IT Help Center (A109 LGRC Lowrise• 413-545-9400) when you have finished these steps for disinfecting and/or removing vulnerabilities from your computer.
IMPORTANT! If you suspect your University-owned computer is infected, STOP. Do not attempt to remove the virus or shut down your computer. Because this may constitute a data security incident, contact your IT Administrator or the IT Help Center immediately. |
Step 1: Download/save all files & print this document
Before you can begin fixing your computer, you have to obtain the necessary files (below) and print this document. Your computer will not be connected to the network while you are disinfecting it, so you will not be able to access these files on the Web.
Note: Even if you already have McAfee Endpoint Security installed, reinstall the latest version.
You can also get these instructions and software on CD from the IT Help Center by going to A109 LGRC Lowrise with your UCard. Each CD costs $3 and includes additional malware removal software and Windows updates not available directly from the UMass Amherst IT Web site. You can also download an .iso image of the CD free of charge and burn it to disc yourself:
An ISO Image is similar to a zip file in that it groups several files into a single download that is easier to manage. When you burn this image to a CD, it produces a full copy of the IT Anti-virus CD from which you can install the software and updates you need to disinfect your computer. See Burn a CD in IT Computer Classrooms for more information.
Remember to print or save this document!
