Don't come down with a virus... Lately, many campus users have been hit by computer viruses. Notre Dame has been hit by serious virus attacks in the past (e.g., Chernobyl in the late 1990's) that caused students, faculty, and staff to lose valuable data. The best protection against a virus is prevention.

The OIT encourages users to protect themselves by: 1. Never open an attachment unless you Town < CWn-fry Shopping center U. S. 2.0 know EXACTLY what the file is, even if it is Belleville Shopping con fer - W. W estern AVe. from someone you know.

2. Install virus scanning software such as McAfee.
