Duke is transitioning to new anti-virus protection software, which means that students, faculty and staff who currently use McAfee on their personal computers should switch to Symantec Endpoint Protection as soon as possible.
DHTS will be working with IT support personnel across Duke Medicine to deploy Symantec virus protection on Duke Medicine-owned and supported computers, and strongly recommends faculty, students and staff update their personal computers to ensure a secure computing environment.
To make the switch on your personal machine:
- Before installing Symantec, uninstall McAfee or any other anti-virus software.
- Download the new software from the OIT site (use your NetID and password to log in).
- Install Symantec, following the instructions for Mac and Windows.
