Viruses, computer

Eight seconds. That's how fast a computer can get infected once it connects to the Internet, according to K-State IT staff. It is essential to protect your computer on a daily basis. Most viruses are written for PCs, but some target Macs.

K-Staters are required to use the university-supplied antivirus software made available to faculty, staff, and students at no charge for campus and home use. The software is available at antivirus.k-state.edu and in the CatPack software CD.

What you can do

  1. Install K-State's antivirus software.
  2. Install critical updates: Microsoft Windows Update for PCs, and Apple Downloads for Macs
  3. Be cautious of e-mail atachments. See e-mail risks for details.
