Dear Parents
Over this last week the school has had a virus infecting its network that is spread via USB Flash Drives, (the small devices that stores computer files that our pupils use) resulting in the loss of the schools network, email and internet. This has since been rectified and procedures have been put in place at school to prevent this from happening again. However, in event that any of our students have inadvertently infected the computers they use at home we suggest that a full virus scan be run on all your computers at home using a good virus scanner. Two reputable virus scanners that can detect and remove these type of viruses are Avast and AVG, both of which are free for home users. A small and easy to use program can protect your computer and all your usb flash drives from being vulnerable and passing on these type viruses can be downloaded here. |
