Small Computer Network Threat
OK - a geeky update from the Computer Systems Manager. This post is for all those who have a soft spot in their heart for our little old computer network. 
It is a struggle each day to keep all the plates spinning when it comes to our computer network. As most of you know - I’m not specifically trained for what I do here at camp - but I tend to have a knack for it. Keeping up to date with the latest threats like virus, adware, malware, and pests can really get my head spinning. Especially when it comes to services we rely on not working. Such is the frustration these last two days. Round and round I went trying to figure out why I couldn’t get rid of this “Antivrus 2009” virus on one of our computers here. Blah, Blah, Blah ... it came down to our network was not updating to the current list of threats…Since 12/26/2008! In the computer world… a day is too long to be out of date when it comes to virus protection. So, after a few deletions in the computers registry and multiple “spybot s/d"scans, “Ad-Aware” scans, and then our own network anti virus scans I think it is actually gone.
Lessons learned: It is always OK to call tech support and frequently check to see what you set to work is still working.
