Anti-Virus Software

It is important to have the required anti-virus software before bringing your computer to campus. For Windows, it is necessary to download both the McAfee VirusScan and ePO, a program necessary for McAfee VirusScan and ITS to "push" software updates to computers. Note: You need to remove any existing anti-virus software before installing the required BC anti-virus software.
