[huridocs-tech] Virus Vaccination Day April 20th 2002

Dear Colleagues,

I apologize for multiple postings of this message.  Feel free to forward
to other organizations you think might be interested.

    NPower NY, NY Cares, and Symantec
    Present Virus Vaccination Day April 20th 2002!

WHAT IS VIRUS VACCINATION DAY?

Virus Vaccination Day is a one-day community service event devoted to
helping New York City non-profits protect themselves against prolific
computer viruses. Computer viruses, like their human counterparts, come
in all kinds of forms and degrees of malignancy, from less harmful
strains that insert the word "wazzu" into Microsoft Word documents, to
extremely harmful varieties that can cause hard disks - or entire
networks - to crash. Specially-trained volunteers will install donated
virus protection software from Symantec on non-profit computers. To
round out the virus check-up, volunteers will tutor agency staff in how
to update their software in the future, perform general computer
maintenance, and inventory their hardware and software for future
technology planning.

WHO IS ORGANIZING VIRUS VACCINATION DAY?

Virus Vaccination Day is a collaboration between NPower NY and New York
Cares. NPower NY is dedicated to putting technology know-how in the
hands of New York City's non-profits. New York Cares' mission is to
unite and enable caring New Yorkers to help people in need and improve
our city through volunteer service and creative giving.
