Virus from the Wireless Network?

The wireless network is designed to pass traffic from a properly configured laptop directly to the Internet, without an intervening network operating system. Incoming traffic from the Internet cannot access any part of the University computer network, and there is basically no wireless network software that can host a virus. This, however, means that there is no virus protection software on the wireless network (as there is on the staff and lab PCs). Users of the wireless network are responsible for obtaining and updating antivirus software on their laptops to stop computer viruses in emails and on infected websites. Up-to-date antivirus software is an essential prerequisite for connecting to the Internet, and not just via a wireless network.
