copyrighted material without the express consent of the copyright owner is
prohibited. Examples include—but are not limited to—MP3 files, digital

What computer should I buy?
The choice is yours. UNCA does not make computer
recommendations, but there are minimum functional
requirements for our network. For the most
part, any new computer purchase will meet these requirements.
Before coming on campus,
protect yourself and the UNCA network.
Make sure your computer has
Virus Protection, such as Norton, McAfee, or AVG, and it is up-to-date. Just
because your machine came with an antivirus program, does not mean that your
machine is still protected. Most antivirus programs are only trial offers and
need to be purchased. After the software has been purchased, it will need to be
updated regularly. Most programs can be set to do this automatically. If you
wish not to purchase software, you can download a free antivirus through AVG.
AVG Free edition
Virus infected computers will
be disconnected from the network.
If you are a Windows PC
user, make sure all Windows OS critical updates have been completed. To do this,
go to:
