What are Virus Definitions?
These are files that provide information to antivirus software to find and repair viruses. Since new viruses are created all the time it is crucial that you keep your virus definitions up-to-date. Simply installing virus protection and never updating the virus definitions will not protect your computer.

Students
Symantec AntiVirus is provided free to all St. Edward's University students. It may be installed from the SEU Network Installer available at the Bookstore and Computer Help Desk (Moody Hall 309) or call the Computer Help Desk (448-8443) for download information. All on-campus residents are required to install and update virus protection in order to access the residence hall network. See instructions for updating virus definitions for the residence halls.

Faculty and Staff
All St. Edward's University owned desktop computers on campus should have Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition installed. Live Update should be managed by the server for these computers.
