July 6 Briefs Excerpts: 

Symantec Antivirus Update and Required Reboot 
Due to a recently discovered Symantec Antivirus vulnerability, Symantec has released an out-of-cycle emergency update. The CNI group has already released the update to all Windows desktops in order to update the Symantec client. However, for the update to be effective, the system must be rebooted. Plan to reboot your system by COB Friday, July 8. In order to ensure that your desktop and the site is protected, all systems that don't reboot by COB Friday will be rebooted after 5 p.m. on Friday, whether you are logged in or not. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this emergency update, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155.

See the link for information on how to do this or come to the next Publications Training and Refresher course on Thursday, July 14, at 2 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F224-225.
