:It is imperative that JHU computer users keep their systems secure when on any JHU network.  The same can be said for those non-JHU computers that interact with JHU, for example personal computers that connect to JHU, perhaps either directly for email service or through the VPN for file sharing.

:Windows systems today generally have Windows Defender built-in.  Macs generally need anti-malware software installed for protection.

:JHU provides software to protect against viruses/malware for both Windows and Macs.

:Please see JHU IT's page on [https://it.johnshopkins.edu/antivirus/ Endpoint Protection] for more information and for downloads for those computers that are JHU-owned or JHU student-owned.  (Although, be aware...it's a very old page.)

:Linux users:  Consider protection software for your Linux system, for example,  [https://www.clamav.net Clam AV].

:Mobile phone users, you are not immune to malware either.  Please search the web for appropriate protection software for your device.
