As of fall 2011 the Information Commons is no longer giving away Symantec Antivirus to students.
It is still available for staff.
Students will still have access to free security software.
The web page address for information on antivirus remains the same and has various suggestions for Windows and Mac users.
http://antivirus.utoronto.ca/
The students that usually "need" to get antivirus, are undergrads with Windows machines. They are the group that is infrequently asked to run the ESP scan. If they have no antivirus on their computer they cannot pass the scan and use our wireless network.
This means that most questions will be from Windows users. And the antivirus page is now referring them to Microsoft Security Essentials.
