Returning students, who used the free Symantec Antivirus provided by Florida Southern College in previous years, will need to manually upgrade to the new Symantec product – Symantec Endpoint Protection by going to the following webpage:

                http://fscstnav:8080/SymantecAntiVirusInstall    (Only available from the Student Network).

Since you will be upgrading from an earlier version of Symantec Enterprise Anti Virus you do not need to uninstall the old version – simply select the correct version to match your operating system from the lower portion of the webpage and follow the instructions.  It is advisable to stop all other running applications (Browsers, email, IM, etc) before doing the upgrade.  If you need assistance please contact the Helpdesk at 863-616-6426.
