University Windows and Macintosh computers are now protected with Windows Defender anti-virus software. This change was automatic for most users: you may notice a different icon in your task tray after the changeover.

Individuals working at home must connect to MacEwan VPN to ensure they receive the new anti-virus software.

Download and configure MacEwan VPN.

If Sophos anti-virus appears to be running on your university computer, please contact Technology Support through the MacEwan Help Centre to have it removed.

The free Sophos anti-virus client continues to be offered for personal computer devices. The various free anti-virus clients can be downloaded from the Sophos website.
