Sophos Anti-Virus
Sophos Anti-Virus protects your computers from the latest viruses from email, CD, floppy disk, network shares, instant messaging, web download etc. Using patented InterCheck technology, Sophos's "on-access" scanner provides constant real-time protection with minimal system overhead.
UCLA has negotiated an agreement with Sophos to license Sophos Anti-Virus products for UCLA staff, students, and faculty. The license agreement is valid through October 2012 and provides the right to install the software on:
- UCLA owned or leased computer systems
- personally owned computers of current UCLA students, staff and faculty
NOTE: There can only be one anti-virus program installed on your computer at a time.
If you currently have another anti-virus program installed on your computer, and wish to use Sophos as your anti-virus program, you must completely uninstall the other anti-virus program before attempting to install Sophos.
