Subject: Virus Vaccination Day April 20th 2002
Dear Colleagues,
I apologize for multiple postings of this message.
Feel free to forward to other organizations you think
might be interested.
NPower NY, NY Cares, and Symantec
Present Virus Vaccination Day April 20th 2002!
WHAT IS VIRUS VACCINATION DAY?
Virus Vaccination Day is a one-day community service
event devoted to helping New York City non-profits
protect themselves against prolific computer viruses.
Computer viruses, like their human counterparts, come in
all kinds of forms and degrees of malignancy, from less
harmful strains that insert the word "wazzu" into
Microsoft Word documents, to extremely harmful varieties
that can cause hard disks - or entire networks - to
crash. Specially-trained volunteers will install donated
virus protection software from Symantec on non-profit
computers. To round out the virus check-up, volunteers
will tutor agency staff in how to update their software
in the future, perform general computer maintenance, and
inventory their hardware and software for future
technology planning.
WHO IS ORGANIZING VIRUS VACCINATION DAY?
Virus Vaccination Day is a collaboration between NPower
NY and New York Cares. NPower NY is dedicated to putting
technology know-how in the hands of New York City's
non-profits. New York Cares' mission is to unite and
enable caring New Yorkers to help people in need and
improve our city through volunteer service and creative
giving.
