Malware Remediation and Detection Program (MRDP)
University-owned computers should be updated to Microsoft Forefront 2010 to ensure the system has the more current detection software. For those individuals installing the Microsoft Forefront 2010, OIT and the IT Security Office (ITSO) offer a program to help the campus collaborate in keeping our online network environment safe. The Malware Detection and Remediation Program (MDRP) allows Microsoft Forefront users on the Boulder campus to work in conjunction with the ITSO to report computers impacted by malicious attacks. This enables a faster response and remediation of harmful or malicious software (often called malware, spyware, viruses, etc.) and prevents it from spreading through our network. Learn more about the MRDP and install.
Antivirus protects you from malicious users gaining access to and running harmful software on your computer, compromising your system and sharing private information.
The MRDP allows the campus to collectively identify malware for faster response and remediation. Faster response to individuals impacted by malware improves the safety of our network by addressing the issue faster, before it spreads.
The antivirus solutions linked to from this site are provided at no-cost to you or your department.
CU-Boulder faculty, staff and students.
