In light of the virus-free MacOS, and inexpensive Linux and derivatives, it would make sense to give consideration. (At a Clevnet Tech meeting -- folks (Wayne County I think) were explaining some of the linux kiosk software and other utilities they use.)</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely, </div><div>-- <br><div><span name="x"></span><br>Tim Burns<br>Birchard Public Library</div></div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div>In Reply to:<br><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br>Message: 1<br>Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:15:18 -0400<br>From: "Fred Miller Jr. " <millerfr@oplin.org><br><br><br>I have recently came across a dilemma that we are having with the staff<br>computers at our central library and the branches. Even though we let the<br>staff browse on the computers where they would like to we're still having<br>trouble with the staff computers becoming infected with spyware and viruses<br>with Microsft Security Esstentials installed. I know this is a good free<br>antivirus, but it isn't doing the job anymore. Currently I have Trend Micro<br>Worry-Free Business Standard Security at my residence and have no problems<br>at all. Was wondering what all of the other IT people are setting up on<br>their staff computers to keep them clean?<br><br> As a side note, our wishlist is going to be due to try to get extra<br>equipment for the libraries. Was wondering what printers and wireless<br>routers people have gotten to upgrade theirs recently. Currently we just<br>have Cisco Linksys WRT54G which has a very poor coverage and distance from<br>main unit is pitiful. Just want to say thanks for all the feedback given for<br>this and have a great weekend.<br><br>Thanks again,<br><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br>Fred Miller Jr <br><br></div><div id="c3dc16f5-0df4-4a86-bdab-9fb2b82f7d78"><br></div></div></div></body></html>
