ResCom is dedicated to helping the residence hall population keep their computers running smooth and virus free. Unfortunately computers do break and viruses are becoming more of a problem. New viruses are coming out everyday, some worse than others.
All viruses take time, recourses, and different procedures to remove.
The most common viruses we see are spread via e-mail attachments. Students living in the residence halls own their computers and are responsible to backup and protect their data from viruses. Some anti-virus programs require you to update your virus definitions manually . In this case it is recommended that you purchase a newer version anti-virus program that features automatic updating of the virus definition files. ResCom strongly recommends using an automated updating system .
