Unexpected Delivery Error or Virus
Notification Messages
We continue to see new and more creative unsolicited
e-mail messages circulating on the Internet. Some of them are simply
nuisances, but others can contain dangerous viruses. While virus
protection and spam reduction software can stop a large portion
of these messages, it is impossible to control all of it.
If you have received a delivery error or virus notification
for a message you did not send, the message was probably created
as the result of a virus on someone else's computer. Some viruses
"spoof" (change) the "From" address on e-mails
so that they appear to come from someone else. What often happens
is that someone's computer has a virus and they happened to have
your e-mail address (or the address of a listserv you belong to)
on the computer. It is extremely difficult to trace messages of
this nature to identify the sender.
We continue to encourage caution when viewing your
e-mail. If in doubt, delete a suspicious message. Never
click on questionable attachments or links. It would be better to
delete a legitimate message and contact the sender to have it sent
again, than to open a malicious attachment and suffer the consequences
of having your computer infected with a virus.
For information about how to keep your computer
safe from viruses or if you have questions, view our Virus
Information page or contact us.
Please Note: If activity from your
computer presents a threat to our systems, Fort Hays State University
may disable your FHSU Internet connection and/or e-mail account
without notice until the problem is resolved.

Wireless Internet Access Under Development
Wireless service is currently in the development phase
and is available in specific locations on campus (designated areas
of Tomanek Hall, Forsyth Library, and the Memorial Union). Wireless
service requires a Windows XP or a Macintosh OS 10.3 laptop with
an 802.11b or higher wireless card installed.
There is no charge for wireless Internet service.
It is available to current faculty, staff, and students. If you
are interested in applying for an account, just stop by the CTC
HelpDesk (Tomanek Hall, Room 113). A photo ID is required.
