Virus Information and Antivirus Software
Software
- McAfee VirusScan is the university's
recommended antivirus and anti-spyware software solution
for Mac OS X, Windows 2000, XP and newer.
- Alert! Windows 95, 98 and ME users: Our experience has been that these computers are too old in most cases to be safely upgraded to our new antivirus software. The only real solution for these machines is outright replacement with a newer computer running Windows XP. Please do feel free to contact us for additional advice.
