Virus ProtectionsVirus Protection

Operating a computer without virus protection is dangerous - your computer and Internet connection will be very slow and, in worse case scenarios, you will probably lose valuable data. In fact, all computers are required to have virus protection before they are allowed to connect to the Otterbein network.

If you're a resident student and your computer doesn't have an antivirus program, don't sweat it. The residence hall network system will provide you will a free installation of McAfee's VirusScan.
