Hello MSU Network Admin Group,
I would not normally bother all of us with an email like this,
but due to the problems being caused by the Cryptolocker virus I thought
it was necessary to send this message. The best, if not only way, to
protect an individual user's computer from this virus appears to be an
active and effective computer backup system.
I have been searching for a good quality inexpensive backup solution and
the Symantec System Restore (and backup) software is the best I have found.
The Symantec System Restore (and backup) software is available
from the MSU computer store with a campus site license for all campus
computers. Symantec bought out the Backup Exec companies backup
software (which has been one of the best backup software packages for
several years) and has repackaged and included their standalone backup
software as part of the Symantec Endpoint Protection Suite 4.0 software
package. The MSU computer store is selling the license for the
Symantec Endpoint Protection Suite 4.0 software for $9.50 per computer
under the heading of
MSU cstore, Software, Symantec software, Symantec Ghost and Antivirus
software - Departmental Use, Symantec Protection Suite, Campus site
license for Symantec Software Suite (includes endpoint protection) ,
cstore stock # SPSDEPT-2016 price $9.50.
In order to install this sofware you need to purchase one of the
Media sets (Set of Install DVDs). Make sure to request the Media set
for the Symantec Protection Suite 4.0.cstore Stock #: SPS-MEDIA for
$10.00 (not the cheaper Symantec Endpoint protection 12.1.2 Stock #:
SEP-MEDIA which only includes the antivirus and firewall software for
$5.00) The Symantec Protection Suite 4.0 media set includes 4 disks.
The Backup and Restore software is on the Disk labeled "Mail
Security for MSE 6 and System Recovery 9.0.1". On this disk is a file
called "Sym_System_Recovery_2011_10.0.0.39952_Multilingual_Product.zip",
Unzip this file to your local computer and then run the setup.exe file
which will be located in the "Install" subdirectory in the directory
location where you unzipped the file. The software should install
correctly, but when you try to run the software it will ask for a
license key. If you have not received the Site license key for the
Symantec System Recovery software when you purchased the Licenses from
the Computer Store then call or email Rachel Zakhem our MSU Site license
Coordinator. She has the correct License key to enable all of the
campus copies of this software.
