Anti-virus software license agreement helps teleworkers keep safe

The Department of Defense anti-virus software license agreement with McAfee allows active DoD employees to utilize the anti-virus software for home use. Home use of the anti-virus 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 the DoD, employees can now take advantage of a free one-year subscription to McAfee Internet Security for your PC or MAC.

This subscription gives users proactive security for their home PC by preventing malicious attacks and keeping the user safe while surfing, searching and downloading files online. McAfee’s security service also continuously delivers the latest software so protection is never out-of-date.

By installing McAfee software on your home system, users will not only be protecting your PC from malicious threats, but also helping the organization strengthen its information technology security against transferable viruses and spyware.
