Back at DESY

Please do not connect your notebook to the DESY network if it reports virus messages or shows an unusual behavior. In case of compromise take it to UCO for an offline virus check first!

In the other case:
1. Connect the notebook to the network
2. Update McAfee security (right click to McAfee icon, Update Security ...)
3. Install Microsoft Windows Patches (Windows_Update shortcut)
