Do any of you require that Macs have anti-virus software? Our policy curren=
tly requires it for all. We're on McAfee now and offer it to students (both=
for Windows and OS X).

Subject: Re: [RESNET-L] Student Antivirus Replacement Project
Andy,
Respones inline...
1. What did/would you move to?
We moved to Forefront for Faculty/Staff (which our license currently includ=
es). Students can run whatever they want or if they need one, we recommend=
Microsoft Security Essentials as a freebie.
2. How do you handle the PR campaign to the students to get them to switch=
? We don't want to tell them we've been giving them a bad product that we =
paid for for the last few years, but we still want them to switch. Also, f=
aculty/staff may not make the switch at the same time, so we don't want the=
m to see the ads and make a fuss over not getting the best product.
We did not do a PR campaign per se. We stopped using Cisco Clean Access wh=
ich was forcing select AV clients. We were behind at least two versions an=
d the cost was just too high. We went with Palo Alto for a network protect=
ion device. There is no checking for AV at this point. Students are promp=
ted for user ID and password on a webpage before they can get on the intern=
et.
3. Do you have any gripes over Symantec you'd like to share?
Symantec, was slow in my opinion from the previous college that I worked at=
. The install/uninstall did not work as advertised. (Say hello to Norton R=
emoval Tool!) We switched off from Mcafee here at MBC as the price kept go=
ing up and the performance kept going down. It was a waste of time and mon=
ey.
Hope that helps,
Derek
