 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!

Spyware and Adware ProtectionSpyware and Adware Protection

Protection against spyware and adware is just as critical as protection against viruses. Spyware and adware can be very detrimental to you and your computer. These irritants can bring your computer to a snail's pace; more importantly, some spyware can steal your passwords, credit card numbers and other valuable and personal information.

Solution & Description
Lavasoft's AdAware was one of the first programs on the market to combat adware. They offer a free edition for personal use.
What LavaSoft did for adware Patrick Kolla and his colleagues did for spyware. Their product, Spybot Search and Destroy, is another free program that lives up to its name.
Microsoft has a program called Windows Defender that combats adware and spyware (well, sort of - it doesn't remove Microsoft's spyware). It is currently free.
