    Research centers discover around 10,000 computer viruses annually – that’s over 27 viruses a day! At Penn State, ResCom staff fix hundreds of computer viruses each year. Therefore, it is important that you install a full virus protection software on your computer and update it often. Norton Corporate Edition Anti-Virus software is available for free to Penn State students online at Penn State's Computer Store. Go to Viruses for virus listings and anti-virus software information.
 
    ResCom staff make a point of keeping you updated on the latest viruses infecting or threatening the Penn State residence hall network; and through news bulletins about equipment upgrades, music programs that use bandwidth, etc. We also work hard to keep you informed about other technology news important to Penn State students and staff.
