This concerns the Confickr worm (virus) that has been in the news lately is set to "update" on April 1st (tomorrow). If your computer has been properly patched and your antivirus software updated and working then there is nothing to worry about, But...
It has come to our attention (UVU IT Technician) that many computers on campus and many home computers are not being properly updated and protected or have become infected through another means.  PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING TO PROTECT ALL YOUR COMPUTERS.
1. Check to make sure that Windows Updates are all up to date by going into Internet Explorer and under Tools clicking on Windows Updates and following the instructions (or going to Microsoft's website and under Security & Updates go to Microsoft Updates).

2.  After updating your computer (including re-booting), check your anti-virus software to make sure that it is updated to the latest version and that it is automatically updating itself.  For McAfee you right-click on the red M in the lower right-hand bar and select Update Now.  Please watch for errors and if you are getting errors,  please contact the IT HelpDesk (863-8888) or your area computer technician.

3. Perform a thorough scan of your files by right-clicking on the red M and select VirusScan Enterprise and then select On-Demand Scan.  Check to make sure that the following(below) are in the middle box and then click Start (found on the left side of menu in the middle):

MAC USERS
If you have a Macintosh and are running Windows on it, you should follow the same precautions.  You should also check for MAC OS updates as well even though this particular virus does not affect the MAC OS.  Please make sure that your MAC is protected with an up to date anti-virus program.  There are viruses and Malware that do affect the MAC also.
