Update: 

ITS has confirmed that this is a false positive and taken steps so that the virus scan alert no longer appears. If you continue to see this, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

Original Report:

ITS has received a number of reports of a Virus Scan alert for a file called “2016.exe” in the c:\dulan folder. ITS is investigating and will address as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please try minimizing the alert box rather than closing it to keep it from repeatedly popping up.

If you have any questions or would like to receive a direct email when the problem is resolved, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu

As of Friday 8/12/16, Denison’s secure wireless network – eduroam – requires that you log in with your full Denison email address as your username along with your Denison password. If you had connected to eduroam previously with your BigRedID and your device is not allowing you to update the username, you may need to “forget” the eduroam wireless network so that you can start from scratch with your connection. Please see the following help resources…
