Before traveling
1. Connect the notebook with cable to the DESY net, logon at win domain with your account - WIN\<account> (Creates your local profile on the notebook, so you can logon later without network connection)

3. Update Virus scan signatures. Click the right mouse button on the virus scan symbol (down right) and click "Update Security ...”

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)
