Bandwidth is a lot
like fossil fuels--it's a limited resource. We have to make sure this resource is
available to those who need it.
When viruses and
worms hit, they take the network down, and they can crash your computer. The
majority of these viruses and worms are avoidable, but only if all computers are
updated with the latest Microsoft patches and antivirus updates. So we chose
Safe Connect
software to make sure that every computer coming onto the network has
the best possible defenses already on it.
Is it a pain?
Sure, especially in the beginning if you haven't ever patched your computer. But
if it saves you from losing a term paper--and lets the support department focus
on improving the network instead of fixing laptops--it's probably a fair price to
pay.
