 Dynamic Menu What's This?


The Dynamic Menu displays expanding submenus. When the Dynamic Menu option is on, you will see a right pointing triangle (Expand). When you put the mouse over the menu item, the menu will expand to the right.

If you like this feature, check the Checkbox to the left; otherwise, make sure it is unchecked.

If you use the same computer every time you visit the ITS web pages, we'll be able to remember your menu preferences!

Virus ProtectionsVirus Protection

Virus protect is a critical component of contemporary computing. Operating a computer without virus protection is dangerous - your computer and Internet connection will be very slow and, in worse case scenarios, you will probably lose valuable data. In fact, all computers are requested to have virus protection before they connect to the Otterbein network. An unprotected machine may become infected and when detected exhibiting virus activity on the network, will be denied access to the network until it is cleaned up!
