Facebook during the day. Our girls get malware from using laptops at home - we just have to help them to remove it or reimage their machines. It does not affect our network - only their laptops.
Are the rest of you seeing a rise in spyware and malware recently? Right now our biggest problem is coming from free TV and movie sites where students download software to watch TV and movies - it downloads spyware that shuts off our spyware protection -
tells the user she has a virus - then tries to sell her virus protection that will remove it. We have not seen any viruses get past our system in ages - not from Facebook or anywhere else.
It's always something!
