Trend Micro for Windows 7 is Now Available!

Microsoft's latest operating system is just around the corner, and while this new version will have great capabilities, it still needs an antivirus program to remain secure and keep performance at optimal levels.  NC State now has an updated version of Trend Micro OfficeScan that is compatible with Windows 7. 

NOTE:  For Windows XP and Vista customers currently using Trend, you will be receiving this new version automatically in the coming months and there is no need to upgrade at this time.

Windows 7 users, check our download page to get your copy today!
