titleGeneral Information

Antivirus software is an important tool to help keep your computer protected from malicious software. Use the table below to download recommended antivirus software for your computer. Be certain only ONE antivirus program is installed/running on your computer at the same time or you may experience significant performances issues.


Our advice it to avoid products advertising "Total" or "360" malware protection. There are many products out there that include features beyond antivirus. Many of these can cause more performance and functionality problems than they protect against.  Stick with a product that just does antivirus protection.


Please note the SON Help Desk does not provide any additional recommendations beyond what is listed here, nor does it provide assistance with installing or configuring any of the software listed.
