Malware Removal

The Malware Removal service assists with diagnosing and removing identified malware on NUnet and ResNet machines, checking machines that are suspected of having malware on them.

This service is beneficial as it ensures protection of users’ data, faster response times from the operating system after malware has been removed, and a safer Northeastern environment altogether.
