The University of Oregon has purchased a site license for McAfee's VirusScan® Enterprise for Windows and Macintosh. This license allows us to distribute this software free of charge to current UO students, faculty and staff for use both at home and work. Too often we are called upon to help users fix computers that are nearly useless due to spyware and virus infections. We strongly recommend that you install VirusScan® to protect yourself before you lose valuable time and data.

Please install and run only one antivirus product at a time.

Windows
McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise 8.5i requires Windows 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista for both desktops and servers.
