As always, please approve updates to your computer as soon as you’re able! If you would like to have SEP installed on a University-managed computer (managed by a department outside of CUIT*), please have your IT support person/team contact CUIT Security to purchase Symantec licenses. It should not be installed on servers or Columbia-owned/managed equipment. The Symantec installer was created for students' personal workstations and laptops. Students should uninstall Symantec, and visit CUIT's Malwarebytes for Students page to download our new endpoint security protection software. Note: Symantec for students was discontinued on Saturday, December 21st, 2019.
