Norton Antivirus 9.0:  Macintosh Installation Instructions

 

Per campus policy (http://www-admn.csun.edu/vp/policies/500_itr/500_01.htm), "all computers that connect to the University IT infrastructure, including all off-campus computers that connect remotely (e.g., via wireless, VPN, or dialup) must be protected with antivirus software or by other appropriate means."

Beginning January 31, 2005 active Faculty (which includes Emeritus Faculty), Staff, and Students are entitled to download a single copy of the Norton Antivirus software from the Campus Web PORTAL for home use.  Follow the instructions below to download and install your copy of Norton Antivirus on your home computer.  DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE ON YOUR CSUN WORK COMPUTER.  Instead, contact your local computer technician to get this software installed on your work computer.

  

1.) Visit the Campus Web PORTAL (http://www.csun.edu/portal) and log in using your CSUN 'User ID' and Password.

2.) Once logged in to the campus Web PORTAL, click the "Software Downloads" link located on the left hand side menu.

7.) When the download is complete, logoff the portal and close any other
     programs that are open and follow the install instructions below.

8.) Double-click on the NAV_OSX.zip icon that appears on your desktop to
     begin installation of the software.  The folder INSTALL FOR OS X will
     appear on your Desktop. Open the folder and double-click the NORTON ANTIVIRUS                  INSTALLER file.  Follow the install instructions through to installation.

9.) Make sure to keep a copy of the installation folder for reinstalling later if
     your hard disk crashes.  The suggested method is to burn a CD.

** If your browser plugins are not set properly, you may see the download as
    a document file and not a zip file.  If you add '.zip' as an extension on the
    end of the file name, it will open as a zip file.  Follow the install 
    instructions as described below.
