The DoD Antivirus Software License Agreement
with McAfee allows active DoD employees to utilize the antivirus
software for home use. Home use of the antivirus products will
not only protect personal PCs, but will also potentially lessen
the threat of malicious logic being introduced to the workplace
and compromising DoD networks. Contractors are excluded from
using the software at home or on any other system not belonging
to the DoD.
McAfee Internet Security
As a member of DoD, you can now take
advantage of a free one-year subscription to McAfee Internet
Security for your PC or MAC.
This subscription gives you proactive security for your
home PC by preventing malicious attacks and keeping you safe
while you surf, search, and download files online. McAfee's
security service also continuously delivers the latest software
so your protection is never out-of-date.
By installing McAfee software on your home
system, you will not only be protecting your PC from malicious
threats, but you will also help your organization strengthen its
IT security against transferable viruses and spyware.
