How to Run Virus Scans on Campus

On a PC:

  1. Right click on the Vshield icon in the lower right corner of your screen.

  2. Left click on On-Demand Scan.

  3. Click on Scan Now, and the program will scan your files.

  4. If there are any viruses found, it will ask you to Clean, Move or Delete them.  Always try to Clean the file first, just in case it’s a file you may want to keep.  If this does not work, try Move or lastly to Delete the infected file.

  5. After this your virus should be gone.  A good suggestion would be, if it found any viruses, to run the virus scan a second time to make sure they are gone.

On a Mac:

  1. The virus scan program is called Virex and should be on your desktop in the dock.  If it’s not on the desktop, you may find it under a Virex folder on the Hard Drive or in the Applications folder.

  2. Click on the Virex icon in the dock, or if in another folder, double click on the icon. 

  3. Click on Diagnose. Select the Hard drive or a folder you want scanned and click Scan.

  4. If a virus is found, click on repair.  A second scan is suggested to make sure it did not miss any viruses.
