What is the College of Pharmacys plan to protect users computers from viruses?
First of all, we make available and install, depending upon the needs of the client, the virus protection software that the University has purchased on our behalf. When we install the software we enable it to check for updates automatically. And, we typically scan the machine when we install the software to make sure that you start off clean. In our experience, and in our environment, this has been a very effective strategy–nearly all of the virus problems we have ever encountered came initially from outside the College and were propagated by people who did not keep their virus definitions updated.
