Frequently Asked Questions
My computer is running really slow and I think I might have lots of spyware-what can I do?

Your computer may be filled with spyware if you have any or all of the following symptoms: computer running really slow; tons of popups; Internet Explorer (IE) will not open; AIM works but web pages will not load; porn on my computer but I didn't put it there; everytime you open IE it goes to a website.

To remove the spyware, use a spyware removal tool available free.  Ad-aware is one tool, available at http://www.lavasoftusa.com .  Follow the instructions on the site.  If you have trouble, call the Student Affairs Support Center (292-HELP) and they will walk you through the process.
