64-bit Windows: 2GHz Pentium 4 equivalent with x86-64 support or above ( Note: Itanium is not supported).

32-bit Windows: 1GHz Pentium III equivalent or above ( Note: Itanium is not supported).Windows computers receive additional network protection in the form of proactive threat scanning and personal firewall capabilities. SEP scans local hard disks and monitors file access to detect potential threats. If SEP detects a threat, it blocks any unnecessary access until the threat has been resolved. On Windows and Mac computers, for added protection against network-related threats, SEP also provides intrusion prevention (IPS). This helps protect your computer without sacrificing performance. The SEP client combines various client security technologies under a single application. SEP is designed to (1) detect, remove and prevent the spread of viruses, spyware and other security risks and (2) provide Windows, Mac and Linux computers with anti-virus (AV) and anti-spyware protection. In addition, UCSF SEP clients automatically keep both the client software and security definitions (AV and IPS) updated for the most complete protection.

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) is provided free of charge to UCSF faculty, staff, students and researchers.
