[OPLINLIST] Trend Micro Virus Protection Offering

[Don Nuss]

Trend Micro 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.

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 =
Anti-Virus product, but believes that it is vital for libraries to have an =
AV product that=92s up-to-date. With increased network security in mind, =
OPLIN has reached out to several AV providers in an effort to 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 Trend Micro. The pricing matrix and other product =
