Your course work and email can still be utilized from your PC, but all other web access is blocked. You may use the computers in the library or computer labs for accessing other web sites . What do I do now?

 

What do I do now?

1. You are using a peer-to-peer program such as Ares, Kazaa, Morpheus, Limewire, Bittorrent, etc. You have to Uninstall it!

2. You should also run your McAfee Antivirus On-Demand Scan to check for viruses that come with downloading music illegally.

3. Once you perform these tasks, contact Thomas Garro at resnet@lasalle.edu to have your computer checked for compliance before being removed from quarantine.
