Do Not Upgrade WFU Computers to Windows 7 or Office 2010

Microsoft released Windows 7 and a beta version of Office 2010.  At this time, we strongly urge you not to upgrade to Windows 7 or install Office 2010. If you upgrade your Wake Forest computer to Windows 7, you will no longer be able to access network resources such as printing, file shares, some library resources and Wake Forest specific computing applications. An installation or upgrade to Office 2010 will not be supported by Information Systems.  Problems that arise due to an installation or upgrade to these software products may result in a reload of the WFU supported software load on your computer.

Be Suspicious of Pop-Ups Alerting You of a Virus or Malware Infection

Please be suspicious of any pop-ups that alert you to virus or malware infection of the ThinkPad unless they come from Symantec Anti-Virus or Symantec Endpoint Protection. Be cautious of any programs offering to remove viruses or spyware for a fee, as these are often viruses/malware themselves. Please remember the Service Desk offers virus and malware cleanup free of charge as a service of the ThinkPad program. If you have questions, please visit http://help.wfu.edu/security or call 336-758-HELP (4357).
