Endpoint Protection (Malwarebytes)
This software is for personally-owned computers only. Do not install Malwarebytes on NYU-owned computers.
Protect your personally-owned computer from malware, cyber attacks, and other security risks by downloading Malwarebytes, an anti-malware software that is free to eligible NYU community members.
Anti-malware Software is Required
As part of NYU IT's commitment to protect our community's information and systems, and in compliance with the Data and System Security Policy, anti-malware software is required on any desktop or laptop computer connecting to NYU's network (NYU-NET).
Who Uses Malwarebytes?
All NYU community members accessing the NYU network must have anti-malware software installed on their personally-owned computer. If you do not already have anti-malware software installed on your personally-owned computer, please install Malwarebytes. Doing so will help protect the NYU network and keep your personal information safe.
Anyone with a valid NYU NetID who has access to NYUHome, except alumni, is eligible to claim and install a license.
