According to Amundson, all programs affected by the virus had to be deleted immediately. Since the computer lab had backups for all of the affected programs, the main impact of the virus was to make accessing a computer in the student lab more difficult.
The computer lab staff had the virus cleared out of the computers by Monday night.
In the wake of the virus, students using the lab are now required to check all disks they bring into the computer center for the virus, Samenfeld said.
The problems in the Kennedy School were restricted to the student computer center and did not spread to other machines at the school, Samenfeld said.
Amundson said that the walk-in computer at the Office of Information Technology (OIT) had previously discovered the same virus.
