Network Software

Software that is to be loaded onto the IBMs generally takes 4-6 weeks to thoroughly test and implement the software. Software to meet district curriculum will be loaded once a decision has been made by the IT lead teachers on which software will meet the IT benchmarks. All other software will be reviewed to make sure we do not currently already support a similar product.

  • NEW Anti-virus package for laptop users. The District's license for Trend Micro's PC-cillian anti-virus package has expired. Employees using this application on their home PCs will no longer receive automatic scan file updates. This update replaces PC-Cillian.

    To ensure continued anti-virus protection for your system you must REMOVE Trend Micro's PC-cillian from your PC's control panel using the add/remove programs applet and then install a licensed anti-virus package.
