Operating System -
If you are bringing a Windows-based PC, the
operating system should be Vista or XP. Any current version of these
operating systems is acceptable.
If you intend to bring a Mac, you should make
sure that you have the 10.4 version or greater loaded onto your
computer.
Anti-Virus Software -
An antivirus program that has regular updates
enabled is required to access the Albright network (internet
connection). The Albright computer registration site will offer you
a free copy of Norton Anti-virus to be installed on your computer at
the time that you register your computer (computer registration can
only occur from your residence hall room). If you prefer, you may run any leading-brand anti-virus package that you choose
as long as it has regular updates that are applied. If you are going
to load the free copy of Norton Anti-Virus that Albright is
offering, you must remove all trial copies or permanent copies of
any other anti-virus first.
