McAfee License Expires 2012

The license for the university's current Windows antivirus solution, McAfee VirusScan, expires June 2012 and will not be renewed.

We recommend Microsoft's antivirus products for both personally-owned and university-owned Windows machines. We urge you to transition to the Microsoft anti-virus products at your earliest possible convenience.

This decision does not affect anti-virus for Macs. Mac users should continue to use Sophos Anti-Virus.

For more information about this change, please visit the Anti-Virus Transition FAQ.
