Download anti-virus software

Computer viruses are a significant problem these days. Getting a computer virus exposes the user to lost time, lost data and the ire of colleagues to whom we may pass our viruses.

Our campus has acquired a site license for antivirus software from Network Associates. This site license entitles us to distribute the software to all current faculty, staff and students of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. These users may install and use the software at the university or on their home computers.

This software is not free, however. Users who are not current faculty, staff or students at UW-River Falls must not use this software without obtaining a license from Network Associates. Significant financial and legal penalties apply to individuals who violate this license agreement.
