Background:  
Computer viruses have become a significant problem on the Austin Peay campus and in fact anywhere that computers share files with each other, especially via the internet.

The Solution:
In the Fall of 1999 the Technology board asked the Office of Information Technology to present a plan for virus protection. IT staff evaluated numerous products and recommended the purchase of Norton AntiVirus. In early January 2000 the negotiations and purchase were completed. The Technology board funded copies of the software for all the laboratory computers on campus. The Office of Information Technology funded copies of the software for all existing desktop computers on campus. Included in the purchase was a second year of support and updates for all the covered machines. Machines purchased from Dell in the future will have Norton AntiVirus pre-installed. Future purchasers of new Macintosh computers will have to purchase their own copies of Norton AntiVirus.

Home Machines:
Unfortunately, our agreement with Symantec (parent company of Norton) does not allow us to supply copies of Norton AntiVirus for personal machines owned by students, faculty members or staff members. The identical product, Norton AntiVirus 2000 can be purchased at an academic discount in the APSU bookstore. It is also available in almost every computer software store.
