Anti-Virus Software
Anti-Virus software protects a computer against malicious software including viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware. These types of programs are often collectively referred to as "malware". They can be installed onto a computer via an infected file, across a network, as an e-mail attachment, and may be hidden within a program downloaded from the Internet.
Anti-Virus software may be thought of as the police within a computer system. It protects a system by identifying the software that doesn't belong and then removing it and throwing it in a jail cell where it cannot interact with other software.
Troy University provides a copy of McAfee ENS to students residing on Troy Campus, which will be verified via TrojanPass. McAfee ENS requires Windows 8.x or Windows 10. If a student owns a computer that is not supported by McAfee ENS, it is the responsibility of the student to purchase anti-virus software that is compatible with one's system.
Simply installing Anti-Virus software isn't enough. It must be constantly updated to provide protection against the latest malware threats. McAfee ENS automatically updates itself on a daily basis.
The anti-virus software pre-packaged with a new computer system is often only a trial version that will expire and must be purchased in order to receive future updates. Please verify that your Anti-Virus software is registered and updated.
Students who have Anti-Virus software installed but would like to install McAfee ENS, must first uninstall the Anti-Virus software, reboot the computer, and install McAfee ENS. If a student installs two Anti-Virus programs on the same computer it will slow the computer system down and may even cause the system to crash and/or not reboot.
Prior to installing McAfee ENS any installed Anti-Virus software must first be uninstalled. Residential students must download the McAfee ENS package for the Troy Campus.
To download the latest version of McAfee ENS a student must be registered, have a valid Troy University e-mail address and live on the Troy campus. To download McAfee ENS please visit the following Website: https://it.troy.edu/students/software.html
