The Office of the Chief Information Officer is requiring everyone using Windows workstations or servers, to take steps to secure those computers against the latest Microsoft vulnerability. This directive is supported by UNM's Office of the President.
Unless otherwise directed by your department system administrator, follow the instructions at: Instructions for computer worm MS06-040.
If you are at the Health Sciences Center, you should follow these instructions: http://hsc.unm.edu/library/usersupport.
Security analysts, including those from the Department of Homeland Security and from Microsoft concur that a highly destructive Internet worm exploiting this vulnerability is imminent.
