McAfee Virus Protection for Students, Staff & Faculty

The use of Virus Protection on any and all computers connected and/or used at the Fashion Institute of Technology is now mandatory. Due to the high rate of viruses released into the wild, some 100 per week, IT for FIT must take proactive steps to try to prevent infection from spreading rampantly throughout the college.

In order to facilitate virus control IT for FIT has entered into an agreement with Network Associates to provide virus protection for the college. IT for FIT is aware that providing protection is a 24 hour per day job, and that it does not end when you leave the lab, your dorm room or your office. Therefore, IT for FIT has procured services to install either Mcafee VirusScan for Windows or Mcafee Virex for Macintosh computers throughout the college. In addition, since our responsibility to our community does not end at the college doors, FIT has also extended rights for all of our students, staff and faculty to run this software at home.

We strongly urge you to install these virus protection products at home on your Macintosh or Windows PC at no charge to you. All you need is a valid user name and password to download the software to your computer. If you cannot download the software, you can stop by the customer service desk on the 1st floor of 236 W. 27th street to request a CD.
