Ruckus Wireless Partner Program
Monday, March 28th, 2011
Today EasiPC joined the Ruckus Wireless Partners Program.
“Schools, school districts, colleges, and universities are all challenged to move up to higher-speed, more reliable Wi-Fi. They want strong security, killer coverage, and connections that don’t drop. They also need Wi-Fi to go to places where no Ethernet cabling has gone before, such as common areas, temporary classrooms, on-campus housing, and every corner of the campus. But for most educational institutions, tigher budgets and busy IT staffs make the transition impossible.
Fortunately, Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi is the first technology that gives schools a cost-effective wireless infrastructure that’s in a class by itself. It provides robust, complete coverage and summa-cum-laude performance—at an affordable price.“

“Every computer connected to the internet is vulnerable to fraud and computer vandalism. This leaves our pockets prey to the software protection industry’s heavy charges to keep us safe. Yet it’s possible to get legal, professional quality anti-virus and other protective software, absolutely free.”

Issues regarding Malware on school laptops
Monday, February 15th, 2010
Following recent experiences and feedback from many of our schools, we would just like to make you aware of an issue with regards to infected websites and rogue ‘pop up’ messages. We have seen, mainly on staff laptops, viruses or malware being downloaded inadvertently after receiving a message on the screen telling the user they have a virus. The media has recently coined the term for these pop ups as SCAREWARE or ROGUEWARE. They usually manifest themselves in the following ways:
