Important Note: Norton Internet Security 2007 has proven to be incompatible with the University's new VPN service. Other "suite" security software packages that offer multiple security features may also pose a compatibility problem with the VPN service. ITS recommends that clients install only antivirus software and anti-spyware packages on their personal computers instead of full-service security suites.
Additionally, the Microsoft Windows firewall may yield better results with the new VPN than third-party firewalls.
Information Technology and Services (ITS) is in the process of testing additional software packages and will periodically update the above list. Our testing is to ensure that the software is compatible within our network, and does not imply any warrantee or vendor relationship. ITS recommends students select security products that include protection from spyware and viruses, whenever possible.
