1 | Make sure your computer hardware, software, and peripherals meet the "UCSD Medical Student Computer Requirements". |
Medical Student Computer Requirements |
|
2 | Ensure your laptop is UCSD security-compliant with current operating system updates, a firewall, anti-spyware, and anti virus software (See A-C below).
NOTE: Most Windows 10 & current MacBooks have these security features automatically enabled. The main concern is that your computer has an anti-virus program that auto-updates with the latest virus definitions to block them. Sophos is recommended, but you can use another anti-virus program also.
|
See OPTIONAL steps A-C below - these can be skipped for newer laptops (see note at left).
Additional Laptop Security Tips
|
| |
A) Configure your laptop to automatically download and install critical operating system updates. |

B) Enable your computer's firewall to protect it from unwanted and unsolicited network traffic and to ensure the privacy of your information. |

C) Install an Security Software program onto your laptop and devices to protect it from viruses and unwanted malicious software.
