Computers Owned by You
|
When bringing your personal computer to campus, ensure that you have done the following:
- Updated the Windows/MAC operating system with the latest patches
- Updated for anti-virus software and scanned for viruses
- Are not running file sharing software (i.e. Kazaa, Bitorrent)
Your computer becomes a security risk anytime it is out-of-date or running unsafe software. The campus network group constantly scans the network environment for potential security risks and will disconnect any computer found in such a state. If you suddenly cannot access the internet, try rebooting your computer and reconnecting to AirUC. If this fails your computer might have been found to be a risk. Visit the UC IT Support Centre for help re-establishing your internet connection.
