Download and Run the New TakeCharge for Windows

01/17/05

TakeCharge is the software utility developed by the Notre Dame OIT to help you protect your computer from viruses, worms, spyware and who knows what. These nasty critters, once on your computer, can cause you BIG problems. And often at the most inopportune times--when you’re in the home stretch of a 30-page term paper, for example!

So, how’s TakeCharge changed? Do you really need to run it again?

Yes! TakeCharge does the same handy dandy delightful things it did before, plus some added tricks that make life on the ND network better and surfing the Internet safer.

• TakeCharge fixes a new and dangerous Microsoft Windows vulnerability that arrived with the New Year.
• TakeCharge sets your PC to automatically receive future Windows critical updates.
• TakeCharge optimizes your Windows firewall settings for enhanced network performance among all campus users.
• TakeCharge determines if your Windows computer is running the correct version of OpenAFS, and if it isn’t, shows you how to upgrade to the latest version.
