Connect MC
Every year, student machines introduced to the campus network may contain harmful viruses and malware. The best way to insure the integrity of the network is to require that all anti-virus software and operating systems are current and maintained.
Each student accessing the Marietta College network is required to login and to maintain operating system patches and an up-to-date anti-virus software package.
Note: The registration software will not collect any personal information.

Windows Anti-Virus and Service Pack Information
All students accessing the network on a PC are required to have updated anti-virus software.
Symantec Live Update is free for all MC students and is available for PCs (using Internet Explorer). The program can be obtained from the "Anti-Virus" folder in your MyMC briefcase (FileName: Symantec Anti-virus.msi).
(Note: Anti-virus and antispyware software for Macs are not required but downloading such software is recommended.)
Microsoft requires that all computers running Windows Update have valid license keys. If you do not have a valid key, you will not be able to download critical updates from Microsoft, and therefore will not be able to access the Internet. Visit Microsoft's How to Tell website to determine if your copy of Windows is valid.
