You are strongly advised to routinely run virus scanning software on your personal computer. The software must be kept current by downloading updates and new virus definitions on a regular basis. UC has a site license for McAfee anti-virus software. This allows all UC faculty, staff and students to use copies of the software at no charge.
More viruses spread today via email attachments than anything else.
Be careful how you use email attachments and from whom you accept them. Never open an attachment from someone you do not know. Never open jokes or photo attachments. Immediately report any suspicious attachment and virus to the UC Help Desk at 6-3785. Jump to the Summer 2000 UC it now index .
