    Virus Overview

    Every day, new viruses are being created. To protect your data, you must remember that it's not a question of if disaster will happen-- it's a question of when. Viruses are among the most common causes of such disasters, which is why having anti-virus software is critical.


    To help in protecting yourself and your data, CTS has put together some recommendations on how to back up your data, as well as to maximize the effectiveness of your anti virus software.

    Norton Anti-Virus is available for purchase for personal computers from the Computer Store for Windows and Macintosh.

    All DU owned computers have managed Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed, that is automatically updated when you are on the DU network, and automatically runs a scan on Thursday's at noon.
