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.
