Avast Business Security Antivirus provides active, centrally-managed anti-malware protection to Lehigh-owned faculty and staff PCs and Macs. On PCs, it is used in combination with a centrally-managed enterprise version of Malwarebytes that is automatically installed as part of the Windows Update process. All other anti-malware software should be removed (or deactivated, in the case of built-in Windows software that cannot be uninstalled, such as Windows Defender).
Remove all other anti-malware products that you have installed, including Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection, Norton, Symantec, or McAffee products, or (for Macs) ClamAV.
See all our Mac software in one place. Remove any macOS security threats, protect your privacy, and boost your performance like never before. Protect yourself from malware, secure your online accounts, keep your connection private, and improve your Mac’s performance with our tools.
Go to software.lehigh.edu, log in, and select Avast.
Select your operating system, confirm your status, and click 'Agree and Download.'
Note that you will most likely receive warnings about antivirus protection being inactive and out-of-date. This is normal, and nothing to be concerned about. The installation sends a message to the central administrator, who will activate the software (this normally happens in a few minutes to--at most--a few hours).
