Please note that antivirus software is required prior to connecting to AQNet. Aquinas does not require a specific antivirus package at this time. Often a student's home Internet service provider will offer professional-grade antivirus suites to their subscribers at no additional cost. These licenses can often be used for college-bound students as well (as long as the Internet subscription at home remains valid.) Avira, Avast, Microsoft Security Essentials, or Windows Defender are all available at no cost through publishers' websites.
