Microsoft updates are remotely installed on computers on the Delta State network as a regular function of security updates for faculty, staff, and lab computers. Unfortunately, Microsoft changed the categorization of their updates, which resulted in Internet Explorer 7 being installed to campus PCs (and subsequently uninstalled!).
IE7 does not work well with either Banner or Blackboard and is not deployed on the campus for this reason. Once these vendors fully support the IE7 or even the new IE8 browser, DSU will revisit the browser option.
IE6 is fully compatible with all Delta State University web applications which includes Web Banner, Blackboard CE 6, Outlook Webmail, Site Builder Toolkit, and other applications. While other browsers may run these applications, OIT cannot guarantee full functionality.

Mississippi has been hit by a nasty text messaging scam that claims to be from Regions Bank. Recipients receive a text message on their cell phones (providers vary) advising them to call a 1-800 number to discuss their bank account at Region’s. In actuality, this culprits are tricking individuals into providing their debit card number, checking account number, and even their personal identification number. No legitimate banking institution would ever ask you for this information – they should already have it! To read more about the Region’s scam, check out the story on WAPT.com. If you receive this or other type of scams via your cell phones (known as “smishing”) telling you to contact a phony number (known as “vishing”) contact the Attorney Generals Office immediately!
