Before you register your computer, BE AWARE THAT:

  • Carnegie Mellon's large, fast, and open public network is constantly UNDER ATTACK.
  • if not properly secured, your computer could be COMPROMISED WITHIN MINUTES of going online.
  • if your computer is compromised, it will be REMOVED FROM THE CAMPUS NETWORK until it has been cleaned -- a process that can take days.

Follow these steps to AVOID LOST TIME LATER!

NOTE: If your computer is managed by a Carnegie Mellon departmental computing administrator, please check with that person before proceeding.
