New Anti-Virus Solution: Requires Action!
The University of Maine System has signed a Microsoft Agreement which provides a broad array of Microsoft services. As a result of this agreement, we have ended our relationship with Symantec for Endpoint Protection. You will need to install Microsoft’s antivirus software to keep your devices safe and secure. Your current installation is providing protection for your device, but will no longer be obtaining virus definition updates and will become much less effective over time as a result.
The link to download the Microsoft SECP ( System Center Endpoint Protection) software is available on the UMaine IT website at this anti-virus software page. On this page, there are links for installation downloads for Mac, Windows and Linux. The installer also removes most common AV software such as Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro if it detects them. The current Mac version available for download only supports Mac OSX versions 10.6 to 10.10. We are working to obtain an updated version for newer versions of OSX. If you encounter problems please call the Technology Support Center for assistance at 581-2506.
