Software Security: IE7 and Symantec AntiVirus
If you think your computer is already secure, it pays to double check. Two important programs you may use on a regular basis, Internet Explorer and Symantec AntiVirus, recently released updates that will improve your computer's security.
Microsoft recently released Internet Explorer 7 software (IE7), and if you haven't already, take the time to download it directly from the Microsoft Web site. You'll get improved security and stability for Web browsing and desktop operations from IE7.
In addition, make sure you are running on Symantec AntiVirus 10.1.5, which was recently released to the NU community. This is a necessary upgrade to ensure the latest protections for your machine, and you can easily download the program from the NUIT software Web pages.
One note of caution — before you install, check with your local technical support staff and don't forget to uninstall your old antivirus software first. Running two programs at once, even if it is Symantec software, can cause conflicts and put your computer at risk. Find out more from the Symantec AntiVirus page of the NUIT Web site.
If you have questions about these upgrades, or any other software supported by NUIT, contact the NUIT Support Center at 847-491-HELP (4357) or consultant@northwestern.edu.
Upgrade to EndNote X for New Features
The latest version of EndNote for Mac and Windows is available free for download from the NUIT software Web site with the NU Toolkit. New features include:
- Tools for organizing PDF files with EndNote libraries
- Four new reference types: Grant, Ancient Text, Dictionary, and Encyclopedia
- One-step process for converting existing PDF links to an EndNote-relative link
- Compressed library option creates a single-file backup
- For Mac users: EndNote X for Mac is designed for Intel-based Mac computers
Find more information about these and other features from the EndNote Web site.
Before installing this new version of EndNote, back up existing EndNote library files and customized content files such as styles, connection files, and import filters. After this, you should uninstall older versions of EndNote before installing the new EndNote X.
Another note of caution — the system requirements for EndNote X have changed, so make sure your computer complies before you install.
For additional EndNote support information and assistance, please visit the University Library's EndNote Web page.
