June 11, 2009

Earlier this year the Anti-Virus Evaluation Committee recommended Sophos as Auburn University's Anti-Virus solution to replace McAfee. As a result of the committee's recommendation, the University purchased a 4-year site license, beginning in February 2009, from Sophos to provide the Anti-Virus solution for Auburn University.
