Protecting Against Virus Attacks
A virus is a software program that replicates itself trying to infect as many files and computers as
possible. A virus may spread through the sharing of files between computers, through e-mail, or
through exposed network connections. Viruses may damage data, cause the computer to crash,
display messages, impose performance implications, expose security holes, or lie dormant.

Protecting FreeFlow products from virus contamination
Xerox’s Role: Xerox takes special precautions to ensure the software is shipped free from
computer virus contamination. Xerox Customer Support Engineers also take care when
performing service on the equipment so software viruses are not introduced into the system.

Computer viruses are best detected by virus detection and control application software that is
accepted by the PC industry. Some of the virus detection and control applications available to,
and widely used by, the PC industry include:
• Norton Anti-Virus by Symantec
• VirusScan NT by Network Associates, Inc.

We strongly recommended that you incorporate the following guidelines to help keep your
FreeFlow products free from viruses and prevent any issues caused by viruses:
• On a regular basis (weekly), run virus detection software on all FreeFlow product workstations.
• In the event you find a virus on a FreeFlow product workstation, do not remove the virus.

• In the event you find a virus on a FreeFlow product workstation, do not remove the virus.
Instead, cancel the virus detection and back up the entire hard drive. NOTE: This is to protect
the data in the event of corruption during the course of the virus removal. The virus can then
be removed using the procedures supplied with the virus protection software.

Protecting Against Power Issues
Changes in power can effect computer equipment and cause software/hardware damage and file
corruption requiring possible service call and possibility of need to reload system software that
can cause downtime.
