   Just another reminder: version 3.0 of the campus
site-licensed security (anti-virus and host-based
firewall) suite, Symantec Client Security, has added
anti-spyware and anti-adware real-time scanning
capabilities.

   SCS 3.0 is available for testing from the WSS Software
website <http://software.berkeley.edu/>. We invite your
feedback on how well these new capabilities work in your
environment - particularly if spyware and adware are
currently significant problems there.
