DO NOT DOWNLOAD NOR INSTALL FROM THE INTERNET *ANY* UNAUTHORIZED SOFTWARE!

If you are concerned about computer virus infections, you can do three things:

  1. NEVER download software from an unknown internet site. Unless a trusted IT professional has instructed you, do not do this -- simply assume there are criminals lurking behind the 'Download Now' button.
  2. If you are using a LYNX managed workstation, anti-virus protection has already been installed on your computer. You do not need to install any other.

  3. MUSC has legal license to products from McAfee, which can be used at home as well as on-campus. This software can be found at www.musc.edu/infoservices/software
If you have concerns about any application you've installed, please contact the IS Support Desk at extension 2-9700.

Beware: in cyberspace, sharks go 'phishing'

A recent attack from foreign shores reminds us there’s no safe harbor from today’s pirates.

MUSC was the most recent target of a sophisticated e-mail attack that has been threatening universities around the world since the beginning of the year. These attacks are called ‘phishing’ and roll in like a cyber tsunami. The source of the latest attacks has been traced to Nigeria where cyber crime is a major growth industry. (More)


Wireless Computing

We've come to expect a lot from computers. Beautiful graphics, great sound, answers to our questions at our fingertips. They're take-anywhere, do-anything genies with lightning response times. There are times, however, when the performance can't keep up with the promise—wireless computing. (More)
