Antivirus and Anti-Spyware

These links provide you with ample options for anti-virus and anti-spyware applications.  Windows users must have both anti-virus and anti-spyware programs installed.  For programs listed under both categories, such as Avast, the program only needs to be installed once.  Mac users need anti-virus installed.  Installation of downloaded programs is easy: simply run the .exe file from your Windows desktop or the .dmg file from your Mac desktop and follow the instructions onscreen.

Note that some programs qualify as both antivirus and anti-spyware.  In this case, you only need one program to qualify for network registration.
