Antivirus Information

To enhance security, improve efficiency, and reduce costs, UNM will no longer provide Symantec antivirus protection for UNM-owned or personal devices. As such, we will no longer be licensing a free Symantec product for non-UNM owned machines.

Apple products have built-in security that provides some protections by default; however, individuals may wish to supplement this protection by installing a 3rd party AV solution. For more information please see Fast Info 5311.

We highly recommend that you uninstall Symantec as soon as time permits.
