My Colby-Sawyer Experience

“My group's Capstone was certainly a culmination of our learning experiences. We were able to apply what we'd learned from our classes, internships, and practical experience hours and tackle a problem on our own.”
John Bosse, Exercise & Sport Sciences

antivirus software requirement


Students that connect their own computers to the campus network (wired or wireless) must maintain up-to-date antivirus software. The computer registration process will not allow internet access without a valid and updated antivirus package.

The college does not require any specific antivirus product. There are many antivirus products on the market to choose from, Norton, ESET, McAfee, TrendMicro, etc. New computers typically come with trial versions of one of these. Be sure to run through the initial setup if your new computer is so furnished, and remember that these trial versions will need to be either purchased when the trial expires, or replaced by another security product.

There are several free security solutions available to download from the internet. Following is a listing of them.

For Windows systems:

Microsoft Security Essentials
AVG Free Antivirus (more fully featured versions offered for purchase)
avast! Free Antivirus (more fully featured versions offered for purchase)

For Macintosh systems:

ClamXav for MacOSX
iAntivirus Protect your Mac (more fully featured versions offered for purchase)
