Re: FW: Residence Hall Virus Solutions

["Tim St. Laurent" <tstlaurent () DYNOLOGY COM>]

The University of Richmond has a "site" license that includes all
students, faculty and staff.  The license also covers home computers for
faculty and staff, which is a really important piece of the overall
anti-virus solution.  I don't know the exact figures, but I want to say
it was something like 13k a year.

We were able to purchase licenses under the Symantec Student Usage
Option from Logisoft (part number 07-96-07379) for $1.03 a license.  The
only catch is we had to purchase a license for every full time
enrollment student.

Hello,

I obtained three quotes that our purchasing department will consider, an
example being Zones, Inc. out of Renton, Washington.  They offered us
academic renewal pricing for Symantec version 8.1 clients for Windows,
Macs and servers at $4.13ea. (425)430-3330 & Brian Christensen is the
Southeast rep, I believe.

We have the same amount of licenses and we pay about $4.66 per user.  We
utilize a reseller & competitive bidding.

Thanks very much.  That certainly sounds like a very comprehensive
program. We have looked into pricing for NAV, and $30 appears to be the
best price we can find (we have 6,000 students).  Are you aware of an
academic program that provides better pricing, or are you paying that
much?

Thanks again for your timely response.

Sandy

        Hello,

        At Georgia State University, we have a policy that each
residential student's computer have antivirus software (we provide
Symantec antivirus software to all students, staff & faculty members)
and a personal firewall. Each student authenticates through Cisco BBSM
using their campusID and agrees to comply with our computer use
agreement.

        This year, due to the influx of students bringing infected
systems to the campus, we are conducting security checks for the Blaster
and Welchia worms on students' systems.  We are also checking to see if
they are patched against the latest vulnerabilities (RPC, Direct X). We
are then installing antivirus software and a personal firewall (free
version of ZoneAlarm) on their systems.  We also offer them an option to
conduct a self-check with an accompanying validation process.

        To ensure that they don't attempt to connect to the housingnet
with a system that has not been checked, we register the MAC address of
their system to their port.

        We've generated a CD/step-by-step instruction with an executable
scripting routine (rpccheck.exe) that automates the process of checking
for worms and patches, applies the fix programs and installs the patches
if necessary. It applies the patches appropriate for the Windows version
on the student's pc. The CD also contains an unattended installation of
the antivirus software and the executable file to install the ZoneAlarm
personal firewall.

        Regards,

        > Hi there -  I am interested in quick summaries of how people
are handling students bringing computers back to school with no virus

protection software.  Thank you very much.
