Educause Security Discussion: Anti-virus Options for Students

[Robert Yoka <ryoka () YCP EDU>]

Our institution has started having the discussion of whether or not we will
allow students to use anti-virus software other than our corporate standard
(McAfee).

Are other schools out there allowing students to use the AV programs of
their choosing?  If so, what impact has it had on your help desk as far as
support time/issues?  If not, are you allowing students to choose from a
limited, pre-selected set of AV choices or forcing all of them to use one
corporate standard AV program, enforced by a NAC solution?

Thanks,
