Sophos Antivirus Support For MS Windows 7

No comments Leave a comment »
A student wrote to ask when VCU will provide Sophos Antivirus support for Microsoft Windows 7?

The current version of Sophos Antivirus that VCU Technology Services provides does work with MS Windows 7 even though it is not officially supported as such by Sophos at this time.  The company released an officially support version of Sophos Antivirus for Windows 7 at the end of October which VCUTS staff is currently testing.  Staff expects to continue testing  this new software until after the first of the year to ensure that it works properly with the many systems and services that comprise the VCU computing environment. So it is save to use the current version of Sophos Antivirus provided by VCUTS now and the new version will be available in a couple of months.

Please contact the VCUTS Help Desk at the number or email provided in the right column of this page should you have any questions.
