System Health Requirements

1. Make sure your computer's operating system is patched with the latest security updates provided by the vendor:
• Windows users should go to the Microsoft Windows Update Site.
• Apple Macintosh users choose 'Software Update' from the Apple Menu
• Linux users, go to the distribution center for your specific Linux OS kernel.
2. Run spyware checking utilities to clean your computer of malicious programs.
• Spy-Bot Search & Destroy and Malwarebytes are common removal tools.
3. Ensure your Antivirus Software is current with the latest virus definition files.
• See Antivirus Software for more information.
4. Run a firewall on your computer (The built-in Security Center is strongly recommended for Windows machines.)

Our recommendation: Windows computers should be running 7 Ultimate (available from CIS) with the full Windows Security Center Suite enabled. Windows Vista and XP are allowed if fully patched. Earlier versions of Windows are not permitted on the campus network.
