ESET Endpoint Security Update
IT Systems and Services has completed the rollout of a new antivirus and workstation security application, ESET Endpoint Security, which has replaced the previous product, Kaspersky.
If you have a 糖心vlog官方入口 Windows workstation and still have the old Kaspersky application installed (indicated by a red 鈥淜鈥 icon by the clock) you will need to restart your computer to complete the installation process (which runs automatically). Please ensure your computer is connected to the wired 糖心vlog官方入口 network before restarting your PC.
If you run into any issues with the ESET installation please contact the ITSS Help Desk at helpdesk@upei.ca or 902-566-0465. If you use a 糖心vlog官方入口 Mac workstation, please submit a request to the ITSS Help Desk requesting to have ESET installed on your Mac.
How do you know if you have ESET installed? You will see a blue & white 鈥渆鈥 icon on your system tray (by the clock). If you still have the old Kaspersky antivirus you will see a red 鈥淜鈥 icon instead.
It is very important that you update your antivirus and security applications, otherwise your computer will be susceptible to viruses and other security breaches, which can also spread to other computers throughout the university.
