Virus Protection

To download and install Colgate's antivirus software on your computer, call the Helpline at 315-228-7111.

Many computers on campus or at home, with either no virus protection software or out-of-date software, are damaged by viruses or malware.  You can reduce your risk significantly by updating your virus software at least weekly.  Computers without updated anti-virus software are not allowed on the Colgate network.  We strongly recommend that you either purchase antivirus software or use Colgate University's antivirus software provided to you free for personal use.

Next, protect yourself from Adware and Spyware.
