Antivirus Software

Last updated on Apr 17, 2024

CCA strongly encourages all staff, faculty and students to install antivirus software on their computers, and keep it up to date at all times. For staff using a CCA laptop, Sophos Antivirus is required to be installed and running at all times.

Confirm Sophos Is Installed

On a Mac, if Sophos is installed and running, you'll see an "S" shield icon in the upper right corner of your desktop. Clicking on this icon will show you the status of Sophos protection on your computer.
