The number of computers infected by viruses at UC Irvine has skyrocketed throughout the last several years. The best way to protect your computer from viruses by getting knowledgeable and keeping your computer updated with the latest virus definitions and security patches.
Please visit the Virus Information page for the latest information about viruses.
Also, be sure to keep your computer up-to-date by installing all the critical updates available at the Microsoft Update site. Again, many modern viruses infect computers through security exploits.
Additionally, you should be updating third-party programs and plug-ins (Flash, Java, etc.) since much of today's malware is preying on such vulnerabilities.
