Many of you are using the Symantec antivirus at home. Your home version will also expire at the end of the month. You will want to remove the Symantec program from your computer before installing a new program.
Microsoft’s program for home use is called Microsoft Security Essentials. http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/?mkt=en-us
It is a free program and is updated along with your Microsoft Windows products. It is comparable to the Forefront client we are running on campus.
There are also other good, free antivirus products. If you are using one of them, there is no need to change. Just be sure that your are getting regular updates; without them, you may not be protected from new virus strains.
I use Security Essentials at home and Microsoft is good about issuing updates.
