Once you finish reading this screen, you will probably connect to other network or Internet sites and use software that improves your productivity at work or enhances your personal life. Sending and receiving emails, surfing the Internet via web browsers, downloading data or program files or chatting online are a few of the most common computing activities that expose systems to malicious threats like computer viruses, worms and Trojan horse attacks. Every month vandals “release” more than 500 of these harmful software products. Any one of these harmful products can – at minimum- interfere with your daily routine or – at worst- totally destroy your machine’s ability to function while erasing or corrupting all of your data files. OIT has gathered information to assist you in protecting yourself against these attacks and has developed a special web site dedicated to protecting the NLU Community from malicious virus attacks. This web site contains important information, documentation and downloads to assist users in safeguarding their computers from such viruses. All NLU Full Time Faculty and Staff have access to this web site. To gain access, click the link below, where you will be prompted to enter in a username / password combination. Use your NLU network username and password as you would when logging into the NLUMASTER network domain or when using Exchange Web Access. If you experience any problems gaining access and need assistance, please contact the OIT Help Desk at helpdesk@nl.edu or by dialing 847.465.0575 ext. 4357.
