start looking. Do you know specifically which sites they are going to? I =
know of at least one, but I'm sure there are probably 100. We came back =
from Christmas break this week and it's like having them come back from =
summer break. In some cases, I can get rid of the spy/malware, but more =
times than not I don't have much choice but to back up files and reimage.

Hope your New Year was a good one!

Hi Linda - Is this because of student laptops? Don't the students use =
Facebook on their laptops when they go home? We do block Facebook for =
students during the day - not because of viruses or safety, but because =
they were spending too much time on
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.=20
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!
