Virus Robin had several things to report. First, there is some confusion as to what you should be updating when the new virus releases come out weekly. She indicated that you should always update the SDAT because this contained updates to the engine as well as virus updates. She also indicated that she was working with the Customer Assistance Center to create a CD weekly that contained the communications software and the new virus updates. She is in the process of compiling information regarding PalmPilot virus alerts and will have that published on the virus web page shortly.
Some people say it works ok, but there have been reported problems with it.
Robin indicated that since Microsoft is not marketing this as a corporate product , NAI does not provide the ME version of VirusScan to us on our licensing agreement. There was also discussion regarding the QAZ virus that s floating around campus. Mike Altimus indicated that if a machine is protected, there will be an entry in the security event log of a login failure. If the machine is not protected, the virus will be passed on to that machine and infect it. The updated charter was reviewed by the group.
