Hello everyone! I have some good news. We have finally received the Macintosh virus protection software. This means a couple of things. First, all of the computers on the fourth floor will all be protected from viruses by Wednesday. Secondly, I am asking every one of you that bring in floppy disks from home, takes floppies used here home to use, or receives attachments from anyone on any e-mail program to install an anti-virus program on you computer at home. If you have anit-virus software at home, please make sure it is updated (this usually can be done over the internet) or if the program is really old, I would recommend installing a newer version. The reason for this is that there are new viruses being discovered EVERY DAY and it is essential to be fully protected. The viruses that have most frequently infected the files on Novial are called Macro-viruses. These are relatively recent and many are undetectable by anti-virus software over 4-6 months old. What I will do is have a "check-out" system for both the PC and Macintosh software versions of the anti-virus programs. Try to make sure that you will be able to install the software the evening you check it out so others will not have to wait to get the software themselves. Feel free to ask me any questions--I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. Thanks, Kate Romanoff romanoff@colorado.edu
