Antivirus Software

Make sure you have an up-to-date antivirus program to keep your computer protected from getting infected from email attachments and files you download from the Internet. This is probably the single most important software tool you can install on your computer to prevent all sorts of problems from viruses, worms, and Trojans. Once the software is installed, set it to auto-update to stay current on virus definitions.

The SELL Software Store offers antivirus software at no charge to Texas A&M faculty, staff, and registered students. The software is available as a download that can be burned on a CD for use and for backup. You will need your NetID and password to log in to the SELL Software Store.
