Virus Information

Everyone should have software installed to protect your computer from viruses, spyware, and other malicious software!

We recommend that you download and install Microsoft Security Essentials on your PC. This is the personal version of the software we use on all of our systems at Olin. It is available at no cost.

Student Technology Services also has recommendations for AntiVirus software on its web site (http://sts.wustl.edu).

Update your antivirus software!

Security software doesn't do any good unless it is up-to-date. Make sure your software is set to automatically update.
