[OPLINTECH] McAfee Virus Protection Offering

[Don Nuss]

McAfee Virus Protection

One of OPLIN=92s primary duties is to ensure the security and integrity of =
its network. Part of this job includes the prevention of spreading =
computer viruses. We do take steps to protect the OPLIN e-mail server from =
virus propagation. However, this is just one step in protecting the OPLIN =
Intranet as a whole. To continue to move towards complete protection, =
OPLIN needs the help of each individual library.=20

OPLIN can only try to protect the outer borders of the Intranet; it=92s up =
to each library to protect its own sphere. OPLIN does not endorse any one =
antivirus product, but believes that it is vital for libraries to have an =
antivirus product that=92s up-to-date. With increased network security in =
mind, OPLIN has reached out to several antivirus providers in an effort to =
help libraries save money and protect their own individual local area =
networks. OPLIN is pleased to announce that it has been able to negotiate =
a great price for virus protection with McAfee. The pricing matrix and =
other product details are as follows:
