Apple Recalls 15” MacBook Pro Computers
Apple has recalled certain 15” MacBook Pro computers due to batteries overheating and posing a fire risk. Affected laptops were sold between September 2015 and February 2017. You can check to see if your model is affected by visiting Apple’s site. If you have an affected model, Apple will replace the battery for free at an Apple authorized service provider. If you have questions, about the replacement program, contact OET.
McAfee License Expires June 30
The UD license for McAfee antivirus will expire this weekend. We have removed McAfee from machines in our College; however, if you have personal machines with it installed, now’s the time to remove it. For personal computers, we recommend Windows Defender, the native virus protection for Windows 10, or Avast Security for Macintosh computers. For UD-owned computers, we recommend Windows Defender and Cylance for Macintoshes.
