Employee Computers

Clemson faculty or staff computers purchased with University funds, should be imaged and managed centrally by your IT Consultant. As part of the standard installation process for employee computers, Trend Micro Antivirus software will be installed. If you have any questions about this process or Trend Micro, please contact your area’s IT consultant.

Student, Home or Personal Computers

CCIT does not provide anti-virus software for student, home or personal computers. But CCIT’s Office of Information Security (OIS) recommends the following: 

macOS computers –  Sophos Home Antivirus (Free Edition) which provides real-time anti-virus, website filtering and protection, as well as remote management for up to 3 Windows or macOS devices per account. https://home.sophos.com

Windows computers – Microsoft’s Defender Security Center which is part of the Windows 10 operating system (OS). If you wish to have additional protection, or for systems with an OS older than Windows 10, we recommend Sophos Home Antivirus (Free Edition) https://home.sophos.com
