Web site promotes safe surfing Business Software Alliance informs of downloading risks

By Kimi Willingham Reporter

It’s easy. Just a little click of the computer mouse and any student is able to download movies, music and the newest software. However, downloading this “free” material comes with repercussions. According to research conducted by the Busi- ness Software Alliance, an organization dedicated to promoting a safe and legal digital world, more than half of the students who have downloaded illegal software off the Internet have experienced computer problems and viruses. Adam Brock, assistant coordinator of resi- dential technology, said that oftentimes students will come in with viruses or pop-up ad problems because of programs advertised as free on the Internet. David Poe/Lariat staff “A lot of viruses will download other viruses,” Anita Benedict, collections manager for the Mayborn Museum, stands at the dig site where currently 25 mammoths have been identified. According to Benedict, the site was first Brock said.
