Antivirus Software Downloading & Instructions

All University-licensed software is now being offered through VIP . Please contact the University Technology Services Help Desk at (803) 777-1800 if you need assistance or require additional support.

* NOTE: The Trend Micro client is licensed for faculty, staff, and student computers engaged in USC teaching, learning, research, and administration, and is not intended for personal use. University students are licensed to use TrendMicro for their personal computers.

Please download TrendMicro no later than August 31st, 2006. After August 31st, 2006, the critical updates for McAfee will no longer be available through the University.

Go to VIP - https://vip.sc.edu - and login.
Click on Technology and “Show Me Software Distribution”.
Choose the Antivirus option for your operating system.
Read the legal information and check the box to continue.
** This installation may take several minutes. You may not see a status update during this time. This is normal.
Follow the appropriate links to download this software. You may see a warning box asking if this program is okay to run. Choose Run.
When prompted, choose Run or Save to install TrendMicro OfficeScan. FYI: You do not need to uninstall McAfee …it will be done automatically for you.
After this is installed, you may notice a "balloon" that pops up on your computer stating that "Your computer may be at risk..." DON'T PANIC! This is because during the TrendMicro OfficeScan process, your current antivirus protection was uninstalled. If you click on the balloon, you will notice that your computer is protected by TrendMicro OfficeScan protection. You are protected. Updates will be installed every hour that you are online.
Please right-click on the TrendMicro Office Scan icon in your system tray and select Update Now. Please do this to complete the installation. You can also right-click on the icon and select Office Scan Main. From there, you can do a Virus scan and check for spyware, which is highly recommended.
