When a PC gets a virus on a network

By no fault of anyone's own, PCs are always subject to viruses. The most common ways to get a virus is by using Internet Explorer as a web browser and proceeding to a particular website, where the virus "lives" among the coding of that site, through a web link that redirects the computer to another site that will spread the virus, or by launching an attachment of an email.

Before removing the virus, as soon as it is discovered on any infected PC, remove the PC from the computer network. Not doing so may infect more than one PC on the same network.
