Information Resources & Technology is upgrading the anti-virus software we use to protect Rowan University-owned computers to McAfee Endpoint Security. We will be installing the new McAfee software in phases, starting in Glassboro on Monday, March 26.
Our current schedule and additional details about this upgrade are available at go.rowan.edu/mcafee. We will also provide updates to employees about this roll out in the Rowan Daily Mail.
What Do You Need To Do?
During the week your building is scheduled for the upgrade, restart your computer every day before you leave work. Do not log back in. When you see McAfee has been installed on your computer, you can resume logging out like you normally do.
This will allow us to push out the new McAfee software to your computer overnight. Your computer will automatically restart again when the installation is complete.
What’s Changing?
Symantec Endpoint Protection will be removed from your computer. McAfee Endpoint Security will be installed.
When the update is complete, you will notice a new red icon, like the one pictured below, in your computer’s taskbar.
Unless you manually run anti-virus scans on your computer, you should notice no other changes.
Where Can You Get Help?
