Malware Notice - Spring 2009

Virus protection
Antivirus software helps protect your computer against harmful software which is written to take advantage of your computer system and potentially transmit, destroy or change important information on your computer. It is very important that you not only have an Antivirus program installed but that you constantly update it. Luckily most programs will automatically update themselves given that you have scheduled it to do so and that you have an internet connection at the time it tries to update.
