Re: FW: Residence Hall Virus Solutions

[Tammy Clark <isttcx () LANGATE GSU EDU>]

Hello,

I obtained three quotes that our purchasing department will consider, an example being Zones, Inc. out of Renton, 
Washington.  They offered us academic renewal pricing for Symantec version 8.1 clients for Windows, Macs and servers at 
$4.13ea. (425)430-3330 & Brian Christensen is the Southeast rep, I believe.

We have the same amount of licenses and we pay about $4.66 per user.  We
utilize a reseller & competitive bidding.

Thanks very much.  That certainly sounds like a very comprehensive program.
We have looked into pricing for NAV, and $30 appears to be the best price we
can find (we have 6,000 students).  Are you aware of an academic program
that provides better pricing, or are you paying that much?

Thanks again for your timely response.

Sandy

        Hello,

        At Georgia State University, we have a policy that each residential
student's computer have antivirus software (we provide Symantec antivirus
software to all students, staff & faculty members) and a personal firewall.
Each student authenticates through Cisco BBSM using their campusID and
agrees to comply with our computer use agreement.

        This year, due to the influx of students bringing infected systems
to the campus, we are conducting security checks for the Blaster and Welchia
worms on students' systems.  We are also checking to see if they are patched
against the latest vulnerabilities (RPC, Direct X). We are then installing
antivirus software and a personal firewall (free version of ZoneAlarm) on
their systems.  We also offer them an option to conduct a self-check with an
accompanying validation process.

        To ensure that they don't attempt to connect to the housingnet with
a system that has not been checked, we register the MAC address of their
system to their port.

        We've generated a CD/step-by-step instruction with an executable
scripting routine (rpccheck.exe) that automates the process of checking for
worms and patches, applies the fix programs and installs the patches if
necessary. It applies the patches appropriate for the Windows version on the
student's pc. The CD also contains an unattended installation of the
antivirus software and the executable file to install the ZoneAlarm personal
firewall.

        Regards,

        > Hi there -  I am interested in quick summaries of how people are
handling students bringing computers back to school with no virus
protection.  We do not have a policy in place to require virus protection
software.  Thank you very much.
