• Back Up Your Data
  The importance of backing up your data cannot be stressed enough. If your
  hard drive fails or your computer is compromised, a backup can make a world of
  difference in recovering from such an event. Backups are always advised prior to
  updating your operating system. More information on MIT backup services is at http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/ist/topics/backup/^{Image Added}.

• Install Anti-Virus Software
  While MIT does its best to prevent virus attacks, no computer is immune to them. To
  encourage protection of your computer, MIT provides anti-virus software for free.
  • Linux: VirusScan
  • Macintosh: VirusScan
  • Windows PC: VirusScan
