Rationale
IT Security analysts at Miami may block your virus- or malware-infected computer or device from network access in order to protect other devices and the network itself. You must confirm the removal of the virus or malware (via digital attachment) before network access can be restored
Guidelines
Removal options
Stop by the
Tech Support Lounge
in the Armstrong Student Center (east wing) for guided software diagnostics and repair. Our technicians will guide you through the malware removal process
Reputable third-party computer repair service performs removal
You must present scan logs and an invoice or receipt from the third-party service as proof of removal so that your access to the network can be restored
Do-it-yourself removal — simply follow the appropriate procedure:
Remove viruses and malware from a macOS computer
Remove viruses and malware from a Windows 10 computer
You must present scan logs as proof of removal so that your access to the network can be restored
After your computer has been cleaned, reply to the email you received notifying you of your security block and attach your scan logs as proof of removal
Network Security will evaluate the security health of your device to verify that it is not longer compromised; the block will be removed within two business days
