Keeping Viruses Off Your Laptop Over the Summer 5/15/07 Normally, your laptop automatically gets virus definition
updates from your school's server. Over the summer, when your laptop will not
be connected to our network, you must keep your antivirus program up-to-date
via the "LiveUpdate" function. 1.
Be
sure you are connected to the Internet and have changed the proxy setting in
Internet Explorer. 2.
Click
Start/Programs. Choose "Symantec
Client Security," then "Symantec Antivirus." 3.
Click
the "LiveUpdate" button. 4.
In
the LiveUpdate window, click the "Next" button to find and download
updates. You may need to click “Next” several times and the updates may take
a few minutes, especially if you are on a slow Internet connection. 5.
When
the updates are completed, there will be a "Finish" button that you
should click. This will return you to the "Symantec Antivirus"
window. Close this window. 6.
Complete
this process once a week for the summer. If you
want to make sure, you can re-open the "Symantec Antivirus" window
and check the date for your Virus definitions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Teacher Notes All
teacher laptops and projectors must be checked in before the end of
school. Once everything is
inventoried, teachers may check out their laptop for the summer. NSD teachers have different instructions
for checking in and may check theirs out after June 19, 2007, so that the
laptops can be reformatted for the new school. If any of the laptop or
projector components are lost, the replacement costs are posted in the
opposite column. Lost items may be
replaced by the teacher using the teacher supply money provided by the state
at the beginning of the school year. --
