Patching and Security - Anti-virus

Per the OSU Minimum Computer Security Standard (MCSS), all OSU-owned and personal devices that connect to the OSU Network (OSUNet) must have an anti-virus application installed. Besides being an explicit requirement of the MCSS, it's also just good sense.

Any OSU-owned computer setup by the IT Services Helpdesk and connected to the Fisher Active Directory domain will have Trend OfficeScan automatically installed and properly configured.

For all other computers, including personally-owned laptops, McAfee VirusSan for Windows and Mac OS X is available to all faculty, staff, and students for free from the OSU Site Licensed Software page.
