Introduction
Anti-virus software is the first line of defense against computer viruses that can spread very quickly using
your Internet and/or local network connection, through e-mail attachments, network shares, peer-to-peer
filesharing, IRC chat file downloads and browsing infected web sites. An infected computer could cause
your system to malfunction, limiting your productivity. Virus infections could cause loss of valuable data
or even more embarrassing – distribution of confidential or personal data. Virus infections can require a
lot of man-hours to clean up or rebuild your system. Often when one computer gets infected, it also
affects other computers in your office and on your network. The best way to protect your system from
viruses is to update your anti-virus program daily and scan your hard drive for viruses weekly.
Information Technology Services (ITS) has a site license of McAfee VirusScan anti-virus software that
active University of Hawai‘i (UH) faculty, staff and students may use at no extra charge on their
Windows computers. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise is licensed for use on UH owned computers
(desktops and laptops), including computer labs on campus, and home computers (one license only)
for active UH faculty, staff and students. (See “System Requirements” for supported operating
systems). Active UH faculty, staff and students include any student taking a UH credit course and any
faculty/staff currently employed by UH.
UH faculty, staff and students, upon termination of employment or student status at UH, must
uninstall all site license copies of McAfee VirusScan and VirusScan Enterprise, per our site license
agreement with McAfee.
