Students should clean computers 2:07 p.m., Aug. 12, 2005--Parents, as you help your students prepare for arrival at UD, make sure they do not overlook preparing their computers to connect with the UD network. All UD students have been sent an e-mail advising them to ensure that their computers are clean and protected before arriving on campus to help avoid any problems. The e-mail directs students to follow the step-by-step instructions under the “Protect and Clean Your Computer” section of the computer security web site at [www.udel.edu/security]. The steps include activating firewall software, installing current anti-virus software, installing security updates, using passwords for protection and removing spyware. The e-mail warns students that failure to follow all steps to clean and protect computers could result in losing network access. There is a fee for those who require University staff assistance for computer clean-up. Students also are warned that file-sharing has to be turned off. Students caught sharing copyrighted materials illegally will have their computer network access disabled for a minimum of 30 days, be required to bring computers to IT-User Services and pay a computer clean-up fee and be referred to the University’s judicial system. For more information, visit the IT Help Center’s web site at [www.udel.edu/help]. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
