Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher is required. Do you need to update your browser? Download the latest version of Internet Explorer at no charge.

- Availity recommends that you always operate your computers utilizing up-to-date anti-virus, anti-spyware, and other appropriate security software and settings for your particular working environment. Misconfigured computers, unpatched systems, and weak passwords account for up to 95% of security vulnerabilities. You should use challenging passwords and change them periodically. Never download attachments or software from sources unknown to you. It is important that someone in your organization establish technology best practices in order to keep your systems running smoothly with the latest possible security. Many informational web sites are available, such as www.zdnet.com, to research the latest security information.
