Anti Virus
All computers in the lab connecting to the network require an active anti-virus program. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have one installed and kept up to date. MIT provides McAfee anti virus for free and it is highly recommended that you use this.
Before you download this you must first acquire and install a certificate.
