Free McAfee antivirus software for Missouri S&T students, faculty, and staff is available here.

Information Technology (IT) is strongly committed to providing all university students, faculty, and staff with a safe, stable, virus-free computing environment.  You can help keep your computer and your data safe by following some "best practices" for browsing the Web. 

To that end, we load Microsoft Forefront on all university-owned computers and provide a free antivirus protection to faculty, students and staff for home and personal computer use.

While campus computers are automatically updated with patches and security updates, it's important to make sure to check regularly for updates if you're running any kind of antivirus or anti-malware program on your computer.  Most antivirus software packages give you the option to automatically check for updates and download them.  If you have this option turned on, you won't have to worry about remembering to look for the most recent version of your antivirus software.
