We require Residence Hall students use our supported product for sanity's sake. If using a free AV, the supported AV (also free) must be loaded. The exception is when we have guests (summer school programs for example) in a residence hall. They obviously don't fall under our site license, so they are assigned to role that allows any AV with updated definitions to pass muster and of course Windows Critical Updates. That has worked very well...
From: Cisco Clean Access Users and Administrators [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of King, Ronald A. Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: NAC AV products I would like to inquire as to what universities are doing to allow students to use free anti-virus. We suggest Avast, AVG and Avira and are finding the traffic control exclusions do not include all the sites that might be part of the install file download or update.
