NOTICE
- As a member of the University of Delaware network, you are responsible for your computer -
how it is configured and what it does while connected to the network.
- In the interest of facilitating the exchange of scholarly information, the University does NOT
restrict or filter network traffic with a firewall or other extensive automatic controls often provided by
commercial ISPs.
The University makes tools available to configure your system to filter spam, viruses and other unwanted network traffic
and it is your responsibility to use these tools.
(Note: UD staff with departmental computer support may have a different configuration.
Contact your CITA for more information.)

It's a big, bad world out there... computer
security is becoming increasingly complex as new Internet threats appear daily.
So how is computing made secure? By individuals taking control.
Unlike a TV you turn on and expect to work day in and day out, computers, like cars, need sound setup and maintenance to keep them running securely and smoothly.
Like being a defensive driver, computer users need to be aware and cautious when using the Web.
The University provides the tools you will need, and gives recommendations on how to use them. The rest is up to YOU!
Be safe and proactive...
If you do not, in a short time you WILL fall prey to a host of dangers and vulnerabilities and your network access will be disconnected until the problem is resolved.
