Security software
If you have an 星空影视computer, provided by IT Services, your computer should have antivirus protection installed, and your data should already be backed up. Laptops, offsite desktops, and Apple computers should have CODE42 (Crashplan) backups enabled. Virtual desktops and on site desktops should have their documents stored on the file server, which is backed up. If you have any questions please contact the IT Help Desk.
Software is a critical part of keeping your computers and other devices secure.
