Most everyone knows that schools, both the lower and college level do not invest in Virus software. Why, I don’t know. When my husband was in college; we would never allow him to use a disc that came from school on our personal computer.

edu’s are a soft target. Only slightly ahead of law enforcement and politicians. And all three are way behind the criminals in knowledge of the internet and technology.

Having worked in higher education for a number of years, I can tell you for a fact that the college I worked at most certainly kept up-to-date antivirus software, and we never had a virus problem on school-owned machines.

What schools can’t control is what students do to their own machines - and on those, yes, I saw malware.
