Anti-Virus

EdCom provides a free download of the Sophos Anti-Virus product for all our clients, and supplies a Remote Update client to keep your computer up-to-date with the latest virus definitions. The software can be installed onto all your computers (home, laptops, or office).


If you prefer to use your own anti-virus software package, we have included links to the most common anti-virus software companies' websites to obtain the latest virus definition files for your computer.
