Frequently Asked Questions

Virus | Is antivirus software installed?

Yes.  Antivirus (or anti-virus) software is installed on the APNK computers.

The APNK computers are protected from viruses in a number of ways:

  • anti-virus software is installed so viruses on disks and other removable media such as USB flash drives will be detected and quarantined
  • internet sites (downloads and uploads) are scanned for viruses
  • a strict network policy prevents exploitation of vulnerabilities
  • all changes to software, including the possibility of a virus being introduced, are wiped when the computer is restarted
  • Windows critical updates are regularly applied.
