Antivirus software is your best defense against viruses/trojans/worms. Any computer that connects to the UT network must have an up-to-date antivirus package installed. The good news is that UT provides antivirus software free of charge to all students, staff, and faculty. McAfee antivirus is available from UT for students with Windows or Macintosh computers. McAfee antivirus is also available for faculty and staff with Macintosh computers. Through UT's Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft, Forefront antivirus is available for faculty and staff with Windows computers. Forefront and McAfee can be downloaded at http://antivirus.utk.edu/download.html. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer virus protection for Linux at this time.
