Antivirus Software
Antivirus software removes viruses and prevents them from infecting your computer. It is critical that you have working and updated antivirus software installed on your computer. See our Safe Computing site for more info on viruses. Macalester Safe Computing Site Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows and Symantec AntiVirus for MacintoshSymantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) is an antivirus, antispyware and firewall utility for Windows XP and Vista. Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh is an antivirus program for Mac OS X 10 on Intel and PPC platforms. IMPORTANT: Symantec software is not yet available for Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Windows 7 users can download a free virus scanner from AVG or any other vendor that supports Windows 7. Snow Leopard users can download a free virus scanner from iAntiVirus or any other vendor that supports 10.6. We will update this page when new versions become available. Macalester provides antivirus software to all faculty, staff and students. Don't install more than one kind of antivirus software or firewall - it will cause problems on your computer. If you already have antivirus software installed and want to install Symantec instead, first uninstall your existing software. You will need to enter your username and password to access these files. Download and save the appropriate file. On Windows, double click the file to begin the installation. On Mac OS X, double click the zip file, then double click the installation file. Don't change any of the default settings during the installation or the program may not work properly.
