NOTE: Lacking a better description, for OUR purposes we are calling this virus episode the EMU SATURDAY VIRUS. It is a member of or variant in the Agobot family of viruses.

Residence Hall wall jacks for the students listed below have been disconnected because it is strongly suspected these computers have a virus that is flooding the EMU network and firewall with thousands of invalid data packets.

These computers need to be fixed before the room connections for them are turned on. students need to get the CD and instructions from the HelpDesk in the Campus Center. Instructions on a sheet of paper that accompanies the CD.

By carefully following the instructions for using the CD, the computer will be fixed and the student must then call the HelpDesk to have the network connection re-enabled. If, for some reason, the student computer again begins to flood the network Info Systems will disable the connection and notify the student to bring the computer to the HelpDesk for further work.

As the list below is updated the reconnected computers will be removed from this list. Computers shown on this list are disconnected as of the update time at the top of the list.

Students whose computers remain disconnected as of Tuesday, 1/29, 08:45
