How important is anti-virus protection?
VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure virus detection software is operating on ALL of the computers you use during an online class. Update your anti-virus software on a schedule (minimum weekly) to check for new viruses. Run your virus software to scan *all files, regardless of type. Never open an e-mail attachment from anyone without virus-checking it first. Turn on macro virus protection in Microsoft Word and beware of viruses in Word documents. Update your Windows operating system with free security fixes from Microsoft.
