Viruses, Trojans, and Worms are malicious programs that are easily spread across computers with email and internet access. At the very least they can be an annoyance and cause your computer to slow to a crawl. However, viruses can also result in data files becoming corrupt or deleted, loss of network connectivity, or even preventing your computer from properly booting. Removal of viruses after they have infected your system can cost time and money.

Sophos Antivirus will protect your computer from virus infection and help keep your system running smoothly.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has contracted Sophos to provide antivirus software for all faculty, staff, and students through December 2011.

The software may be downloaded from this site, or a CD containing the antivirus software is available at the Information Services Helpdesk located in rm. 105 of the 501 Building.

Sophos version 7.3 is now available and is compatible with Windows Vista.
