-----Original Message----- From: Annie Brody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: March 5, 2002 2:34 PM 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. NEED MORE INFORMATION?
