"What is the Virus Notification Program all about?"

The OIT Virus Notification Program (VNP) is a program designed by the OIT Help Desk to safeguard the members of the University of Maryland community from computer viruses by providing:

  • Alerts about new and damaging computer viruses and information about how viruses operate.
  • Protection from viruses by providing downloadable anti-virus software and information about securing software from viruses.
  • Tips on how to avoid being infected by new computer viruses that anti-virus software cannot initially detect .
  • Outreach and reminders about computer viruses through various news media.

To learn how to sign up to receive alerts via e-mail about any new viruses that threaten the university, click on the Virus Notification Page.
