Anti-Virus

The DoD has
renewed the software license agreements for use of the McAfee and Symantec
Norton Computer Anti-Virus (AV) software products. Detailed information
regarding the software licenses can be found on the Defense Information
Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) web site at
http://www.ditco.disa.mil/asp/ncr/dodav97.asp

Emergency Response Team) web site operated by DISA at
http://www.cert.mil/antivirus/antivirus_index.htm.
Information and anti-virus software downloads may also be obtained from the Army
Computer Emergency Response Team (ACERT) if your computer is registered as a
host in the army.mil domain. If it is not registered in the army.mil domain, you
will not be able to access the ACERT web site. Information about registering a
host computer in the army.mil domain can be obtained from the Department of
Defense Network Information Center web site by following the link to NIPRNET.
Navy
INFOSEC Website
(.Mil only)
The following
software licenses include home use for all DoD employees, including military
service members and authorized civilians. Military personnel taking work
home, and then returning to the office with infected files, had previously been
identified as a primary means of entry for viruses attacking government computer
systems.
The antivirus software can only be downloaded from a computer with a “.mil” or
“.gov” domain address. (A small group of users with an authorized DoD “PKI”
digital certificate may download the software from any computer.) Sailors then
save the software to any form of portable media, such as CD, thumb drive or zip
disk to bring to their home computers for installation. Most Navy and Marine
Corps Intranet computers include a CD burner, and all have USB ports for
attaching some form of portable drive.
The Infosec Web site at
https://infosec.navy.mil
has complete instructions that guide users to select the most appropriate
software package. Antivirus software from all three vendors is available for
nearly all versions of both Windows and Apple operating systems, as well as many
other rare operating systems and handheld devices.

The US Army and
US Air Force have signed contracts with Microsoft to allow military
servicemembers to purchase Microsoft software for home use at special discount
prices. Through the Army and Air Force Microsoft Home Use Program and the
Employee Purchase Program, servicemembers enter their military email address and
discount code (corresponding their unit/location) and can then order the
