NIMDA VIRUS ALERT

Protective Scans in School Server Room

After the Local Authority computer system became infected, some schools discovered that their computer systems were being overloaded by 35,000 unwanted files. That is the power of NIMDA!

Clear your PC of the virus and it strikes again! Schools can not use the LEA system at the moment.

Ian Farish's job is to scan computers in all schools for the Nimda Virus and protect them from the virus.

When the computer gets full of internet junk, the computer's hardrive gets filled up and the Nimda Virus starts to leak onto the computer. Ian has to run the Nortons Anti-Virus Scan.
