In conjunction with National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Enterprise Information Technology Services is partnering with Telecommunication, Electronic and Computer Services to hold the fall 2009 Computer Health and Security Fair. UGA students, faculty, and staff can bring their laptop computers to the second floor lobby of the Student Learning Center from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Oct. 20 for security assistance.
The security checkup includes virus scans and software updates, spyware removal and more. Requests will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis.
TEC Services, a unit within the Office of Research Services, will be on site along with EITS consultants and technicians to provide a security checkup for laptop computers.
Security professionals also will provide information about the dangers of phishing attacks and how computer users can protect their computers against these and other identity theft attempts.
The fair is intended to assist individuals with personally owned computers. Consult a
departmental IT professional before bringing a workplace computer to the fair.
