Protection from Viruses
|
It is recommended that you install antiviral software on your computers, both at UWA and at home. Your home computer is your own responsibility. As well as installing the initial software it is essential that regular updates be collected (daily if possible) as new viruses are added very frequently. An extremely important protection is common sense: - don't have your mail program configured to open attachments automatically
- don't open attachments yourself unless you KNOW what they contain
- don't think that because you know the sender it is safe
- don't click website links in unsolicited messages
- if you have Windows XP, we strongly recommend you configure at least some part of the "automatic update" system. Alternatively (or for older versions of Windows) regularly check for updates at least once a month. These are available from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
