University Offers Free Anti-Virus Software
By Jeevan Vittal

Online viruses are pieces of computer code that do a lot of damage. A computer virus can do everything from delete files to monitor your personal data. As a result, computer users often shell out up to fifty dollars a year for virus protection.

The university offers free virus protection, however some students don't seem know about it. “It's not as available as much as I think it should be.” Says Jashaun Peele, a UNC-CH Junior.

You can download Symantec Antivirus Software for free through ITS.
