Virus Clinics

During the academic semester, the Help Desk runs free virus clinics weeknights from 6pm to 9pm, Saturday from 11am to 1pm, and Sunday from 2pm to 5pm. There are a limited number of appointments per session and sessions may be completely booked weeks in advance. Call 401-874-4357 and speak to a consultant to make an appointment.

You will need to bring your computer along with any special power cables and operating system CDs to the lower level of the library (LL19) for your appointment. You do not need to bring the monitor, mouse, or keyboard. Prompt arrival is requested as virus clinics often require the full three hours. You must stay with your machine during this time.
