Tech Tips from Mr. Hatch himself

Going into class I thought I knew a lot about protecting my computer and keeping my identity safe but after  Computer Survival Skills with Joe Hatch I now realize that I know nothing. I thought because I own a Mac that I was immune to viruses but I now know that all computers, no matter what the brand, are at risk of potentially catastrophic viruses. Before Mr. Hatch spoke with my class I was still using the network TUGuest which I know know is just for visitors. Students at Trinity have their very one network, TUSecure, which is protected by the Mr. hatch and the rest of his department. The one virus that intrigued me the most was definitely the Trojan because it's cleverly disguised as an email or a link and is nearly impossible to get rid off. After Mr. Hatch's talk I'm much more alert and careful when it comes to roaming the internet and I now wipe my safari after every use just to ensure that I'm not in danger of a harmful virus.
