===================================================================
o Macintosh updates:
o Dr. Solomon's Antivirus: Lately the Hebrew U. has been flooded by
the Microsoft Macro virus (called Concept Virus). Unfortunately,
Macintosh and PC users are equally vulnerable.
Disinfectant 3.7.1, which was freely distributed, is unable to
detect and clean the Concept Virus. There are also many new strains
appearing continually.
The Computation Center has therefore decided to obtain a new site
license with Dr. Solomon's. The Dr. Solomon's Antivirus will
therefore be available for free, shortly. We will notify everyone
as soon as it is.
o Timbuktu: Timbuktu Pro (Farallon Inc.) is a program that provides
services that allow the control of a remote computer.
There are client and server versions. The client version, allows
the technician from the computation center to connect to your
computer at home or at the office, and fix most of the problems
remotely.
The server (or full) version has the added advantage of "taking
over" and controlling , for example, your computer on campus, from
home.
The program is both for MAC and PC - and even better - you can
control a MAC from a PC and vice versa!!!
A demonstration of the program will take place at the Yeda Seminar
by Yossi Elline, the representative of AcadeMac.
Note:- The Computation Center has managed to obtain a special deal
for the CLIENT version. Please let us know if you are interested.
Send your e-mail, with SUBJECT heading "Timbuktu", to:-
shirley@cc.huji.ac.il
o Computer Hardware Maintenance Agreement: As you might already know,
in past years the Computation Center had a Maintenance Agreement
(Hoze Sherut) for computer hardware service.
This is coming up for renewal and anyone interested in renewing or
joining it for the first time is welcome to speak to either Tamar
Arbeli or Zeev Langer.
You may contact them on Tel: 6584217.
