          SYSTEMS AND VIRUSES UPDATES


  • E-mail
    Have you checked your Junk Mail Folder lately?
    If not:
    1. Sign on into http://tumail.temple.edu
    2. Click on Folders
    3. Click on Junk Mail
    Since no spam filtering software is full proof, you may find a few messages in this folder that were not supposed to be there. In addition:
    1.  You can take this opportunity to delete all unwanted e-mail messages and clear some disk space, and
    2.  You can tell the TUMail filters to always treat e-mail from a particular user as good and to not throw them into the junk folder. For that, look under OPTIONS and JUNK MAIL CONTROL while still in TUMAIL

  • Virus Update
    If your computer is shutting off a few minutes after you started it, it probably got infected with the Blaster Worm. For more information about it please read the memo written by Ariel Silverstone (Chief Information Security Officer) memo at the following link: www.temple.edu/cs
    You can also download the Blaster Worm Removal tool at:
    www.temple.edu/helpdesk

    Please note that before running this tool you need to disable your system restore file. To do so, on a Windows XP computer:
    1) Right click on "My computer" located in your desktop,
    2) Click on Properties,
    3) Click on System Restore
    and check "Turn Off System Restore"

    Important: Remember to uncheck "Turn Off System Restore" after running the Virus Removal tool and having re-started your computer.
