3. Friday 24th May 2011 – last three classes

CB, CD, FBW, JE, LC and MB started off by collected one newly purchased laptop each from KP and FMcG. We all signed in the book that JE had very kindly donated to the group! :) Our task was to set up some of the 50 odd laptops, in a few hours. Setting up these laptops consisted off:
1.      Registering laptops, we had to register every single laptop for their warranty.
2.      We had to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 trial and McAffee.
3.      We installed Microsoft Antivirus online.
4.      We installed a Microsoft Office 2010 full package to each machine. This proved a slow enough job as we only had one disk, and it on a few memory stick to go around the eight of us.
5.      We uninstalled unnecessary programs off the laptops, such as Bing, Amazon, and Ebay.
6.      We checked for updates, installed all the updates and turned on automatic updates.
7.      We set up back up on the laptops.
8.      Lastly we downloaded Google Chrome.
FMcG tried to put information onto two memory sticks brought in from CB and LC. Turns out these two intended to completely crash the whole school system, by bringing in infested memory sticks. Between these two sticks three worms were detected, luckily FMcG was at hand to destroy these worms. Sorry guys better luck next time! ;) After a tough few hours of work we were awarded a Vitamin C lolly off FMcG.
