Antivirus for Home Use (for Windows 7 only)

For students, faculty and staff, you may download and install Microsoft Security Essentials at no charge to help protect your computer. You can get more information and a link to download the program at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions.

If you have Windows 8 or newer then your computer already comes with security software in the form of Windows Defender, which protects against many security threats.

Antivirus for ETSU computers

ETSU is currently using Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection on computers configured for the ETSU domain. If you have a machine that needs to have an antivirus program installed, or if you need to replace Symantec Endpoint Protection that's currently installed on a machine, please contact the ITS Help Desk so that we may put in a ticket to have this done. Please do not try to install Microsoft Security Essentials onto an ETSU computer.
