You combined two topics there, viruses and file sharing software.

For viruses, they or you need to make sure that appropriate antivirus/antispyware software is installed and has a current license. UDel provides McAfee which isn’t the best but it’s better than nothing.

File sharing is another issue entirely. UDel will not permit students to run programs that allow them to publicly share music, movies, etc. There is some “safe sharing” web page that they have with info on permitted ways of sharing with your friends.
