It really depends on the specific software your computer may be running. Most antivirus programs have icons that sit in the system tray of your computer's desktop (for Microsoft Windows) to indicate thier activity. Looking there is a good way to tell if you have antivirus software, and which software package it is. Also, most antivirus software will display a "splash screen" when the software starts (usually, automatically when your computer has just been turned on).

There is unfortunately no consistent nor single way to make this determination---this is one of the reasons that a move to PCSI installations is underway. On OpenVMS Alpha, you can use VMSINSTAL.HISTORY and PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT to determine what packages have been installed via the VMSINSTAL and PCSI tools, respectively. To see which OpenVMS Alpha ECO kits have been applied, look in VMSINSTAL.HISTORY on OpenVMS Alpha prior to V7.1-2, and use PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT/FULL on OpenVMS Alpha V7.

Some poorly programmed anti virus software will alert you when a program tries to write any files into your computer’s hard drive. Our file merger software takes a few small files and turns them back into one LARGE file. In order to do so, it MUST write the file into your hard drive.

Your computer may have come preinstalled with antivirus software, however, you may need to configure it to receive regular updates. If you do not have any antivirus software the university has a site license for Anti-Virus software of which more details can be found here.

Yes you can, however there is generally no need to as you are already protected. Note that most antivirus software is principally slowing down your computer. However if you wish to know if infected files are residing on your computer, Principal AntiVirus cannot help you as it only protects against programs which are running.

If you do not have antivirus software installed on your pc at the time of the modem install, our technicians will install AVG's free antivirus program at no extra cost.

Check out BT NetProtect (www.btnetprotect.com) Any computer store will stock a variety of software applications designed to stop viruses and spyware. Alternatively a simple search in any search engine for “antivirus” or “anti-spyware” will bring back a host of results.

Our University always provides licensed antivirus and security software. You can access these software from the License Server that is already present at our University Network.

No, Stellar Shield is not an anti virus software. It recovers the files even after they are infected by a virus. You also have the option of rebuilding the hard disk i.e. restoring back your entire files onto the same hard disk.

Check the version number in C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\Java Runtime Environment or C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\ Open Netscape Navigator. Go to the Help>About Plugins. Check the MIME types listed under Java Plug-in. If the following exist:

In the Apple menu, choose Control Panels. In order to connect to JVLNET, you need two system components: an item with either Mac TCP or TCP/IP, and an item with PPP in its name (Config PPP, Mac PPP, Free PPP, PPP, etc.). One exception to this rule is the Apple Internet Connection Kit (AICK). If the AICK is installed, you'll still need to see that either Mac TCP or TCP/IP is installed, but Config PPP will be hiding elsewhere in your system. To determine if you have AICK, look in your launcher.

Try to locate the software using the guidelines in the step above. On Windows, you can access a file-finding capability under Start menu > Search > For Files and Folders.

No. Server side antivirus protection requires opening attachments and passing message content through a filter, which breaks email privacy. We do not control clients' activities manually or using robots as stated in our Email Privacy Policy.

By default, when you download the software, it automatically installs on your machine and it also places an iNetBet icon on your desktop.

Please go to your "Control Panel"->"Printers" to see whether a new printer named "Nice PDF Creator" has been installed.

Scanner (conventional scanner, command-line scanner, on-demand scanner) - a program that looks for known viruses by checking for recognisable patterns ('scan strings', 'search strings', 'signatures'). TSR scanner - a TSR (memory-resident program) that checks for viruses while other programs are running. It may have some of the characteristics of a monitor and/or behaviour blocker.

In case it's not absolutely clear from the following, I can't possibly answer the first part of this question! There are, however, some suggestions following for sources of software and of information on particular packages, comparative reviews etc. The danger of this approach is that sites, servers, and packages come and go, and I haven't time to keep track of all these variables. Some of these URLs have been passed on by trusted sources, but I haven't the time to check them all out regularly.

For Windows, either McAfee or Norton. A reasonably good free package for Windows is available at Grisoft. For Macintosh, Norton makes a version that you can purchase online at http://www.symantec.com/purchase/
