Is Your Computer Protected?

The computers you use at Simmons are protected from viruses and other "malware." But what about the other computers in your life?
Install the antivirus software Simmons makes available to you for free and get your computer ready for fall by running through step-by-step instructions at: http://my.simmons.edu/disinfect-protect
What's the worst that could happen?
Neglecting your computer, leaving it open to viruses, spyware, and other malicious software can have dire consequences. An ailing computer can stop you from finishing assignments, corrupt your journal article or seminar paper, and prevent you from sending email. A virus on your USB memory device can destroy files on it, and transfer infections among different computers you use.
Save time: do it now!
It takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours to disinfect and protect a computer in relatively good condition. It will take many more hours, or a sum of money to pay someone else, to fix a computer riddled with viruses. Restoring your papers and presentations may turn out to be impossible. Don't wait until you are under deadline and cannot live without your computer. Save yourself some unnecessary stress; Disinfect and Protect now!
