Using Anti-virus Tools & Software
Walk through the most common scenarios for what to do when malware is found:
•Quarantining and removing malware
•What boot-time scans are
•When to use tools like Avira Rescue System
•The importance of conducting regular backups
•Being ready to re-install everything

Using Anti-virus on Work and Personal Computers
If participants are using their daily work computers or personal computers in the workshop, have them carry out a scan of their drives in the evening and have the anti-virus program quarantine any identified malware:
•Allot time on the next day of the training to ask what they found, if anything.
•If participants are finding malware, show them how to remove it, and show them how to perform a boot-time scan on the second evening of the training.
•If any infections require more in-depth assistance, set aside time for one of the trainers to provide 1:1 help.

If participants are not using work or personal computers, that aren’t good candidates or available for scanning, instruct them on what to do when they return home:
•Download a non-portable apps version of anti-virus software from those suggested
above, or one that you recommend.
•Scan their drives when they return home, remove any malware identified.
•Perform boot-time scans, and then any additional steps as needed.
If at all possible, work with the host organization and the participants to identify a
trusted individual with the skills assist them, if necessary.
