Virus Information

AntiVirus Software CD

Temple University is offering Symantec AntiVirus software to Temple students, faculty, and staff for home use at a minimal cost. Under Temple's current agreement, you are eligible to use this software and obtain virus definition updates through June 30, 2009. You can obtain these definitions by running the program's Live Update feature.

Note: If you use your computer on campus through a registered Temple network connection, your computer is already covered by the on-campus site license. For on-campus use, you do not need the CD since you can download the software from the antivirus.temple.edu site. Access to this Web site is restricted to on-campus use.
