Changes to Student Printing
Beginning fall 2008, all students and employees will receive a one-time, 1,000-page paper credit. Unused pages will carry forward each semester. New page credits will no longer be given each semester. On Aug. 22, the 1,000-page credit will be added to each student's previous balance. For more information, contact the ITS Help Desk at Ext. 2075 or e-mail helpdesk@uwf.edu.
McAfee Antivirus Software for Your Home Computer
McAfee antivirus software is available free of charge for UWF faculty, staff, and student home computers . New computers often come with antivirus software already installed; however, this is typically a trial version and will stop updating after several months. Because new viruses come out every day, old antivirus software cannot keep your computer protected. In contrast, the UWF version will continue to update so that it can detect and remove new viruses. Good antivirus software is essential to protect your PC. Download McAfee from the Software tab in Argus.

Finding UWF email in your Junk Email folder?
Microsoft Outlook, Entourage, and ArgoMail all contain tools to filter out junk email. Unfortunately these tools cannot always determine what is junk email and what is legitimate email. As a result, email from someone at UWF is occasionally sent to your junk email folder instead of your inbox. Learn how to resolve this problem.
