Always run anti-virus software configured for daily updates and active monitoring.
Anti-virus software will help keep your computer free of malicious software such as viruses, worms, and trojan horses. You also need to protect yourself against spyware and adware, which could gather your personal information or create an opening for more serious threats.
CIT provides Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows and Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh. This software is free to members of the Cornell community through a university site license.
Protect your computers at home too! Current faculty, staff, and students are eligible to install the Symantec anti-virus software on their home computers.
