Virus Updates ... pops up a small window from Symantec.com with the latest security alerts.
(if the window doesn't pop-up, use this link to access the security alerts.)
Computer viruses can be deadly to a network. It's very important
that we do all we can to prevent virus infections. The district
uses a virus protection program and updates it regularly. As a general
rule to protect yourself from email-borne viruses you should follow
these guidelines:
- Never double-click email attachments. If you receive a document
or spreadsheet that you want to look at, with GroupWise simply
right-click the attachment then select View
Attachment. The built-in viewer in GroupWise can handle
most file types.
- If the attachment appears to be an executable program, never
run it, despite what the accompanying email says, and no matter
from whom it is received. It is now a common ploy for spreading
viruses to make it appear it is from someone you know and trust.
Innocent looking screen savers can be a malicious virus.
Unless you are expecting an attachment from someone never double-click
on it.
Any and all virus alerts from the TIS department will have the
subject Updated virus information from TIS,
since "Virus Alert!!" and "Dangerous Virus Warning" are becoming
popular ways of spreading viruses. You should disregard and delete
email messages with those subject lines. We will never send you
a virus warning as an attachment. Details of viruses will be in
the message body.
Contact the Help
Center (279-2330) immediately if you suspect a virus attack
on your computer. |
