Antivirus

All students who use the BC network are required to use and maintain the McAfee anti-virus software supported by Boston College. Failure to comply will result in loss of network access. In addition, if a student's computer appears to be spreading a virus on the network, the computer's network access will be suspended.

If you are currently using non supported anti-virus software, such as Norton Home, you must uninstall it prior to installing the BC version of McAfee anti-virus software. For step-by-step instructions on uninstalling unsupported anti-virus software, and installing and maintaining McAfee anti-virus, go to www.bc.edu/virus.
