There is a security concern with USB storage devices, which may unintentionally transmit malware from computer to computer.
The library does not currently ban the use of these devices on QOLNET or Cox Broadband, but we suggest caution in order to protect your own data and the integrity of library computers.
REMINDER:
At the Library, you must use the anti-virus scanning program (Norton Internet Security/Norton Anti-Virus) before using any "flash" or mobile hardware.
The Library is not responsible for any damage to personal data or USB devices.
