Computer fair
The spring 2008 Computer Health and Security Fair is April 22 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. in the second floor lobby of the Student Learning Center.

Telecommunications, electronics and computer services representatives and EITS consultants will be on site to provide a security checkup for student, faculty and staff laptop computers.

The security checkup includes virus scans and software updates, spyware removal and more. Requests will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis.

Security professionals also will be available to provide information about the dangers of phishing attacks and how to protect against identity theft attempts.

Additional information is available online at http://eits.uga.edu.
