NEVER attempt to install any product on your district computer to stop viruses or other malware (or to make your system run faster). They will then set (hijack) your browser home page to a new website and/or change your search engine to something other than Google for all your browsers.

Malware/adware will often present itself as a "helper" application to make your browser or shopping experiences more "user friendly". Please be cautious about any websites you visit or images you click on, especially when offsite as security on non-district networks is not as robust as when in-district. In these cases there is not any further action that staff need to take for the malware/adware to install - no messages to click or misleading warnings. We believe in some cases malware and adware are downloading after staff do an image search in Google or another search engine, and then click on an image that has the malware/adware attached to it. Malware commonly present in a pop up window while using a browser offering to "speed up your system performance" or "enhance your shopping experience". Malware and adware can effectively lock up browsers and significantly compromise computer performance. It can change your homepage, redirect your search results, change your toolbar or even add malware to your computer. It usually is installed during installation process or after installing, on the screen or on the browser by installing a browser plugin.
