 Instructions For Residents Leaving Campus 

  • Symantec Anti-virus is the only software the DirectConnect Office has you install on your computer.  If you are going to be a returning student, you can leave this program on your computer.  This anti-virus will protect your computer as long as you are a student, even if you live off campus.  However, if you would like to uninstall it (while you are not living on campus) you can do this by going to:

        Start>Control Panel>add/remove Programs>Uninstall Symantec Anti-virus 

  • Set up your computer's network settings according to any instructions given to you by your ISP.
  • If you will not be on another network, turn off any shares on your machine.
  • Make sure to run either Ad-Aware or SpyBot about once every two weeks to keep your computer clean and free from spyware or adware.
