Recently version 2 of Microsoft's very good anti-virus/malware product was released. This product has been expanded with the following new features:
New Features in 2.0
Here’s all of the new features in the latest release, which make it even more of a must-download:
* Network Traffic Inspection integrates into the network system and monitors the traffic at a low level without slowing down your PC, so it can actually detect threats before they get to your PC.
* Internet Explorer Integration blocks malicious scripts before IE even starts running them—clearly a big security advantage.
* Heuristic Scanning Engine finds malware that hasn’t been previously detected by scanning for certain types of attacks. This provides even more protection than just through virus definitions.
Whitman IT strongly recommends users of Security Essentials 1 and those who are approaching the expiration of their paid software upgrade now!

Will it be still nessisary to buy MathType?
In typical Microsoft fashion they have released a MS Office Word/OneNote add-in called Microsoft Mathematics without fanfare. Microsoft Mathematics appears to fill the gap many Whitman faculty are looking to fill in regards to including mathematical equations complete with symbols and graphing in MS Word documents.
PR overview of Microsoft Mathematics:
With the Microsoft Mathematics Add-in for Word and OneNote, you can perform mathematical calculations and plot graphs in your Word documents and OneNote notebooks. The add-in also provides an extensive collection of mathematical symbols and structures to display clearly formatted mathematical expressions. You can also quickly insert commonly used expressions and math structures by using the Equation gallery. The Microsoft Mathematics Add-in can help you with the following tasks:
• Compute standard mathematical functions, such as roots and logarithms
• Compute trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine
• Find derivatives and integrals, limits, and sums and products of series
• Perform matrix operations, such as inverses, addition, and multiplication
• Perform operations on complex numbers
• Plot 2-D graphs in Cartesian and polar coordinates
• Plot 3-D graphs in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates
• Solve equations and inequalities
• Calculate statistical functions, such as mode and variance, on lists of numbers
• Factor polynomials or integers
• Simplify or expand algebraic expressions
Whitman Faculty who would like to see the add-in in action can stop by suite 114 for a demo. Anyone looking to test on their own can click here: Direct Download Link, Microsoft Mathematics FAQ. At this time the add-in is only compatible with MS Word 2007/2010 and OneNote 2010.
