The use of Trend Micro software on Western faculty/departmental computer systems is purchased and maintained by Western's central administration. For information regarding costing for use on Affiliate or Ancillary unit computers, please refer to the ITS Services document @ http://www.uwo.ca/its/services.pdf

Windows clients...

No action is required for Windows clients currently running Trend's Officescan. Some clients will be upgraded to the most recent version of Officescan but this action should be transparent to the users.

Macintosh users...

The latest version of the Trend product includes a client for Macintosh systems. Our current contract for Macintosh systems with Sophos expires on August 31, 2010. Users who are currently using the Sophos client under our current campus agreement will be contacted by ITS over the summer with information concerning migration to Officescan. Any copies of Sophos obtained from ITS or the Campus Computer Store will not be updated after August 31, 2010. This software should be replaced.

If needed, the Sophos uninstaller package can be downloaded at http://security.uwo.ca/antivirus/remove-sophos/
