Security Alert: USB Bot

Patch your Microsoft Window personal computer immediately to prevent infection from the USB Bot. Cornell is providing the patch for download here:

If this change is not made, a temporary infection from plugging in a USB drive would occur that may trigger our network scanners to issue a possible compromise report.

Install Anti-Virus software for greater security

We strongly recommend you install Symantec Anti-Virus as soon as possible. You can download the software from CIT for Windows and Macintosh computers on the iConnect website. Installation instructions are available for Windows and Macintosh computers.
