# remove computer virus or malware from a computer — Database Administrator

As a Database Administrator, 'removing computer virus or malware' isn’t usually about *directly* cleaning infected end-user machines – that’s typically handled by helpdesk or security teams. However, it’s critical you understand the competence because database servers are prime targets and even indirect infection can be catastrophic. Your tasks revolve around identifying if a server hosting databases has been compromised (often through unusual resource usage, failed logins, or data corruption), isolating it *immediately* to prevent spread, and then assisting security in remediation. This might involve restoring from known-good backups – which you manage – after verification of clean state, or working with security to analyze logs for intrusion points.
