Anti-Virus Information
UPDATE: 7/16/2008
New versions of Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition are available for the Windows 2000/XP users, Windows Vista Users and Macintosh Users. Click on the links below to access files for your OS. Note - we are not yet posting versions for the Windows XP 64bit or Vista 64bit operating systems. Please contact us directly if you are running one of these systems.
[IF you are running Windows 95, 98, ME or NT - contact us - we have no useable clients for these operating systems at this time. Most major Antivirus vendors have dropped any and all support for these older versions of Windows. This also includes Macintosh users running anything older than 10.0x. However, you must make sure your systems are protected if they reside on any part of the WSU network and this leaves you in a quandary. ]
Please remember - it is your responsibility to maintain basic security on the computer you use at work including virus protection. It is our responsibility to provide the tools and assistance to help you accomplish this. The current WSU Antivirus policy is located at this link.
Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (used to be called Norton) is the current Anti-Virus software supported by Washington State University and the College of Agriculture and Home Economics.
The new Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition university site license allows the installation of SAVCE on all WSU owned computers used by faculty, staff, and employed graduate students. It is also licensed for use in CAHNRS computer labs, including academic, 4-H, and Learning Center labs.
The SAVCE license does NOT include WSU students and their computers. Students should contact the SCS student labs (Student Computing Services) for their software.
The license does include some limited use on "home computers." If you use a personally owned computer for official WSU business at home, you may install SAVCE on that computer. If you have two computers, one used by yourself and the other by a family member, you will be in violation of the license if you install it on the latter.
If SAVCE is installed on computers that do not meet the above criteria, you are in violation of the WSU site license.
