All Stories

Due to changes in Symantec antivirus and available alternatives, Carthage will no longer use or provide Symantec Endpoint Protection. Instead, we will use Windows Defender on all Windows computers and the built-in MacOS XProtect for Apple computers. We recommend that all students, faculty, and staff activate those programs on their own computers using the links below:

For faculty and staff who have computers provided by the College, if you are unable to do this yourself, please send an email to help@carthage.edu to request assistance.

If you have previously installed Symantec through Carthage, it may continue to work, but it will no longer update definitions after Sunday, Aug. 1, when our current contract ends.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
