Faculty and Staff: The Symantec installer was created for students personal workstations and laptops. Students should uninstall Symantec, and visit CUITs Malwarebytes for Students page to download our new endpoint security protection software. At least an option to ignore the object could be better. Note: Symantec for students was discontinued on Saturday, December 21st, 2019. But we all know that sometimes it can be a bad judgment from the antivirus side, like a driver for Android that I needed to install and it was classified as unknown source and therefore didn't allowed me to proceed with installation. You just can't set an action different than quarantine a suspect object. The way it works on client machines, by being configured by IT department and not locally may cause some troubles. What can be a pro in one hand, can also be a con in the other hand. For smaller organizations, they offer a 'Small Business' version of the software that is more suitable, primarily due to price point. Its pre installed on all the machines and is there to protect, not to disturb. Symantec Endpoint Protection serves as an excellent front-line antivirus solution for larger organizations who need to manage numerous computer systems, servers, and users. Employees don't need to worry about scheduled scannings, updatings, fine tunning or anything else. Our IT department has full control over adjustments of all the installations. In our company we use it for all the employees. Rarely I see an advice for it or need to take a manual action, and it stills there, doing its good job. It is my job partner, it protects me along my day without being disturbing. Traditional and trustful solution for corporative environments
