Tip
of the Month: MPC (Micron Computer) Information Available On Line
The Desktop Support Group often gets the question: "What software and
hardware was bought with my Micron PC?" One reason it’s important
to be able to track this down is so that Lab organizations that have picked
up computers passed down among employees or picked up from excess property
can ensure that only software licensed to that computer is being used on
the system.
All Lab Organizations Using Automated Computer Account Closing System
Beginning Friday, August 1, the Laboratory Directorate and Operations staff,
along with the Material Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences and ALS
Divisions, will join the rest of the Lab in using the Termination Notification
System (TNS) to close various computers accounts of employees who end their

Internet
Scams the Topic of the Aug. 13 Computer Protection Brown Bag
Event
Eve Edelson of Environmental Energy Technologies Division has
been studying Internet scams for several years. Have you received
any "Request for an urgent business relationship?"
Many of us here at Berkeley Lab have, and we'll undoubtedly
get more. Edelson will report her findings and will give practical
advice at the upcoming Computer Protection Brown Bag Event at
noon, Wednesday, August 13, in the Bldg. 50 auditorium. Bring
your lunch and your questions. |

Music
and Movie Sharing at the Lab? Better Think Again
Certain
types of activities are not allowed when you use LBNL computers.
These activities include using certain protocols such as KaZaA,
Gnutella, e-donkey, e-mule, and others for music and movie sharing.
Not only does this type of sharing violate copyright laws, but
it also uses a disproportionate amount of networking resources,
interfering with scientific and other important activities at
the Lab. The Computer Protection Program monitors all use of
these protocols; violations are handled in accordance with LBNL's
Regulations and Procedures Manual. |

Monthly
Virus Update: Klez.H, Sobig.E and Bugbear.B Worms Dominate
The
LBNL virus wall eradicated a total of 5,662 instances of viruses
and worms last month. The virus wall statistics for June 2003
were a little more interesting than in many previous months,
however, because several worms challenged the destructive Klez.H
worm's prevalence. |
