Virus Scan

Symantec are one of the leading suppliers of anti virus software please follow this link to download their scanning tool.

What the tool will do: Scan to check for virus vulnerability and other security threats.

How long does it take: Depending on the size of your hard drive and/or connection speed we recommend you not sit and wait for this scan to complete. Get a cup of coffee, do a load of laundry and check back later for the results.

Viruses are tricky. In fact, you may have a virus on your computer right now and not even realise it. Be safe; have a t24 Agent safely quarantine and destroy computer/software viruses that may be on your computer.

And after: If you have any threats or exposures please contact t24.
