File Sharing The use of programs such as KAZAA, Skype, Morpheus, Gnutella,

LimeWire, Bear Share, Emule, and iMesh that are used to download music, movies, and games are not appropriate use of the UVU and UEN network.

These programs pose a significant security RISK TO YOU since you are allowing anyone to access your hard drive and computer resources to use it for possible illegal purposes.

File sharing also creates large amounts of network traffic causing the college and statewide networks to slow down.

Additionally, almost all files that are downloaded are copyrighted materials that are illegal to share and download. You can be prosecuted for doing such.

McAfee includes an anti-spyware program.
