The University takes virus protection very seriously. All e-mail entering the U-M system is scanned for viruses, and infected messages are rejected. The ITS Exchange Service also uses McAfee's GroupShield for additional anti-virus protection.
However, your computer can become infected many other ways than through e-mail. For your most complete protection, the University provides — at no cost — excellent commercial anti-virus programs. Download VirusScan 8 (Windows) and Sophos Anti-Virus (Mac OS X). You will have to log in using your uniqname and UMICH Kerberos password.
