+Positive results in the scan must be reported to one or more members of the [[:wiki:policies:incident#incidence_response_plan|Incident Response team]]. If a virus is detected, all members of the IR team must be notified immediately.
+=== Response ===
+  - The offending applications and files will be uninstalled or removed until the report returns zero results.
+  - The incident response team will analyze the malware attack surface and inventory the information that was available on the infected device since last scan.
+  - Based on the information available on the infected device, the appropriate Incident Response and Data Protection procedures will be enacted. Information about the threat will be escalated to clients/customers, according to the guidelines in our [[:wiki:policies:omnicom|escalation policy]].
