Downloading and Installing McAfee Anti-Virus Software
To download anti-virus software for both Windows and Mac computers, please go to https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/service/security/antivirus, where you will find details of the current versions of all products and links to the download pages, as well as links to more general information on viruses, current alerts, hoaxes etc. Once installed onto a networked computer at home via broadband or through the Faculty or College network the anti virus software should update itself automatically. We do suggest that you check this every now and again just to make sure things are working ok.
