From, Mr. Joe Hatch's visit to our Computer lab, I learned that in as little as 5 seconds, one computer infected with malware can infect many other computers on the same network. Malware, is another name for harmful software like viruses and worms that can cripple or virtually halt the functionality of your computer. Because of his lecture I now understand the relationship that Clean Access has with the health of our campus network. Without Clean Access, computers which are not part of the Trinity University network and users who use computers without good updated virus protection software, could intentionally or unintentionally plague our network.
Sadly, I realize that most of these Malware problems are "vomited on Microsoft"...
Oh well, I live with the Windows Vista system I have. (^_^)
