Spyware plagues students
who frequently download
The University's microcomputer support team helps
remove unwanted programs from personal computers
BY ANTHONY LUCERO
NEWS REPORTER
These days, it’s hard to go any
where on campus without facing
a bombardment of solicitors passing
out concert invitations or political
groups recruiting voters. However,
the soliciting often gets worse
for students once they start surfing
the Internet. Web users are exposed
to pop-up advertisements, mali
cious viruses and system-slowing
spyware that not only annoys
people, but also reveals much of
their identity.
“Currently, spyware mostly
reports browsing habits or other
personal information back to a cen
tral server for targeted advertising
or other purposes,” said Dan Al
brick, microcomputer services man
ager at the University’s Micro Ser
vices. “As bad as this is, it could be
a whole lot worse. What if your
computer was infected with a spy
ware keystroke grabber (a tool that
logs which keys a user hits), which
was able to snatch your online
banking information?”
At the Micro Services department
in McKenzie Hall, new University
students are coming in droves to
have accounts set up, connections
configured or to cure computers in
fected through University networks.
"I can say that almost every Win
dows computer that comes in to the
helpdesk here in McKenzie hall is in
fected in multiple ways,” Albrick
said. “It’s typical for us to see ma
chines with traditional viruses, spy
ware and worms. In many cases, the
user's computer is infected with
more than 100 distinct threats.”
Spencer Smith, microcomputer
support specialist for the Computing
Center Web site, said the largest
number of individual spyware com
ponents found on one machine
brought to microcomputer services
was 2,100.
In response, the University gives
new students a DuckWare CD,
which includes an Internet browser,
spyware, anti-virus and pop-up ad
blocking software to eliminate most
of these dangers.
Albrick also advised students us
ing Windows to regularly update
their systems with the latest service
pack from Microsoft to fix dangers,
many of which come from its Inter
net Explorer browser. Lately, attacks
have been caused by holes in the op
erating system or IE browser, which
make users vulnerable to attacks.
“Most times people are using Web
mail, and they click on an attached
file, which then infects the comput
er,” said Sam Crow, a technician at
the EMU Computer Lab. “I’d say to
people to be diligent with e-mail and
who it is sending the mail to you.”
Mac users are safer from most
viruses and security holes than Win
dows users because of Mac operat
ing system security and also because
there are far less Mac users.
Though the U.S. Senate has re
cently banned spyware and spam e
mail with its SPYBLOCK program,
both Internet practices are slow and
hard to completely remove. The Sen
ate Commerce Committee responsi
ble for the legislation will focus on
eliminating secret software that pig
gybacks on other applications, such
as file-sharing programs, and is in
stalled by users who agree to the in
stallation notice without reading
what such programs will install, ac
cording to a Commerce Committee
press release.

Children among the casualties
in Gaza, 68 Palestinians dead
Israeli-Palestinian conflict peaks with a
five-day offensive that left a 14-year-old dead
BY IBRAHIM BARZAK
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Pales
tinian Prime Minister Ahmed
Qureia on Monday condemned
what he called international indif
ference to Palestinian suffering in
the face of a broad Israeli offensive
into the Gaza Strip aimed at halting
rocket attacks on Israel.
At least 68 Palestinians have been
killed in the five-day offensive,
making it the deadliest Israeli incur
sion into Gaza in more than four
years of fighting.
Nine Palestinians died Monday
in northern Gaza, including four
militants and a 14-year-old girl
who residents said was shot as she
baked bread with her mother in
their garden.
Early Tuesday, one Palestinian
gunman was killed and three
wounded in an Israeli missile strike,
Palestinians said. Israeli military
sources confirmed that armed Pales
tinians were the target but would
not comment on reports that a pilot
less drone fired the missile.
In southern Gaza, miles away
from the offensive, Palestinian resi
dents said a 4-year-old boy was
killed by tank fire next to his house
near the town of Khan Younis. The
Israeli military said there were no
shootings in the area.*
Late Monday, the army said it
killed a Palestinian gunman
who tried to infiltrate the Israeli set
tlement of Netzer Hazani near Khan
Younis. Also, Palestinians said an
Al Aqsa militant was killed in
the Jebaliya camp.
In other developments, a spat
between Israel and the United Na
tions escalated after a top U.N.
official in the region acknowledged
that some of his Palestinian employ
ees were probably members of mili
tant groups.
In the West Bank city of Ramal
lah, undercover Israeli troops
ambushed a car on Monday, killing
two members of an elite Palestinian
security force and wounding a third,
Palestinian security officials said.
Army radio said an Israeli was
also killed; the army declined to
confirm the report.
Israel moved into northern Gaza
last week after a Palestinian rocket
attack killed two children in the
Israeli town of Sderot. Prime Minis
ter Ariel Sharon has said the opera
tion will continue until the rocket at
tacks stop. *
Harmon: Lawsuit will not rectify damage
Continued from page 1
of Oregon, I was treated less favor
ably than my male peers in the terms
and conditions of my employment,”
Harmon said in her initial complaint.
“1 received less pay and benefits than
equally qualified or less qualified, ex
perienced and tenured counterparts. ”
Harmon said in July 2000 she re
fused to sign her annual contract
when she learned that a newly hired
men’s assistant coach was being paid
$50,000, while her salary was
$35,724. Despite later receiving a
raise, Harmon said her salary still did
not reflect her years of coaching ex
perience in comparison with many of
the male coaches.
In a recent interview, Harmon
added that the discrepancy extended
to past athletic programs’ budgets,
with differences in the amount of
money, number of opportunities and
amount of resources allocated to
men’s and women’s programs.
Since she has left the University,
Harmon has earned money through
contracted coaching and by acting
as an expert witness in track and
field lawsuits.
“You’re practically going from
caviar to rice,” Harmon said of her
household. “I’m just short of pick
ing my children up and moving
across the country for a hope and a
prayer to not have to deal with what
1 have here.”
Harmon said filing the lawsuit isn’t
about money: it’s about values. She
has spent years trying to empower
women to get equal resources as
men, shesaid. * ** > < •
“I’ve told athletes, The world is
your oyster, and with hard work,
dedication and performance, it’s go
ing to get you the same success as
men,”’ Harmon said. “Unfortunately,
this has not been demonstrated by
the University. ”
“(The lawsuit is) not going to recti
fy the damage done to me,” Harmon
said. “But walking away from this
and not making a statement of
what’s been done, and that it’s
wrong, would be a slap in the face,
and a resignation 1 don’t feel in any
way compelled to make. That would
send a poor message to women who
want to aspire to greater prospects
and who shouldn’t be subject to job
loss based on gender.”
