How to Get and Install Norton Antivirus

George Fox University has a site license for Symantec's Norton Antivirus program for Windows computers. This license covers all university-owned computers, as well as all student- and employee-owned computers either on campus or at home. Here's how to get and install the software:

From on-campus

  • For employee computers, contact the IT Service Desk to have Norton Antivirus installed. The employee install includes connection to the on-campus server for automatic delivery of the latest virus definitions.
  • For student or personally-owned computers connected on-campus, point your Web browser to http://techsupport.georgefox.edu and follow the directions to uninstall any current antivirus programs, then install Norton Antivirus. This install is configured to update itself automatically when connected to the Internet.

From off-campus

  • Visit the IT Service Desk to check out an installation CD overnight. You will need to present your GFU ID card.
If you have any questions or need additional help installing Norton Antivirus, please contact the IT Service Desk.
