We learned this lesson the hard way last November when the Bloomington campus network was struck with a massive virus attack that generated much user concern. The scope of the attack demonstrated the ineffectiveness of our current anti-virus products, and exposed the vulnerability of the university's computers. Although there are the issues of communication, distribution and installation that will keep us from reaching total coverage, this site license removes the consumption barrier and makes it much more likely that we will achieve 100 percent coverage. The contract will be in effect until July 2002, during which time all new releases of products covered under the contract will be made available to IU's computer users.
Users can continue to use installed software after the contract is terminated.
A valid IU identification card must be shown and a license agreement to purchase software signed.
