HOW TO USE THE CD:
The Anti-Virus CD actually contains software for both the Macintosh and PC platforms. It will recognize which platform you are using and make that set of software available. Click once on the name of the software you want to install. Read any notes about that application and click once on any menu item in the lower-left corner. When you are ready to install the software, select 'Continue Installing ..." The installers do not require any additional software to perform the installation unless noted. When finished using the CD, click on 'Quit Installation Menu' in the upper-right corner of main menu.

The CD contains both licensed software and freeware. The licensed software, that can be used by any current faculty, staff or student at BGSU, are the anti-virus applications.
