The Office of Information Technology continues to establish procedures in an effort to prevent and stop the spread of viruses, worms, etc. However, to be successful requires the cooperation of every campus user since infection can be spread through many different sources, including floppy disks, email attachments, Internet downloads, and browsing.

To help protect against infections, two important procedures every user should incorporate are: 1) Keep the PC's operating system up-to-date and 2) Keep the PC's virus protection software up-to-date.
