When I was in college last year, they decided to stop mandated installations of AVG at the beginning of the school year, and all hell broke loose. It took months to get rid of all the viruses.
We have college students who don’t know a monitor from a modem but they can yank down their AV and firewall software like pros.
We had a kid get majorly infected. He went to a Russian porn site from an email and got the infection. We asked him why he took down the AV and firewall and he told us the site recommended it. Geez!
