Downloading and Installing ePO

ePO is the acronym for electronic Policy Orchestrator. People with Windows computers must install ePO before they are given access to the BC Network. ePO complements McAfee VirusScan and allows ITS to "push" software updates to computers. ePO download and installation is part of BC's activation procedure. Activation registers each computer on the BC network. ePO can also be downloaded directly from this web page.

Note: It is essential to have ePO installed along with VirusScan. Until the ePO updates are applied to the new version, the default settings of VirusScan may interfere with the proper functioning of certain applications such as Thunderbird. Please follow the installation process carefully.

If for some reason you believe VirusScan or ePO will interfere with your computer's operation, you may apply for exemption from VirusScan and/or ePO requirement.
