Statistics shows that more and more virus infected emails were sent from staff and students' home PCs. To protect our campus network from virus attack, anti-virus software is made available to our staff and students for home use. Under the licence agreement (valid till 19 Aug 2025), our staff and students could use the ESET NOD32 AntiVirus software at home. Users can download the software with their network account and password to their computer at home.
