Personal copy of Sophos antivirus

ST and GDR employees

You can have a personal copy of Sophos Antivirus to install onto your home computer (only one). To get it, come to our offices with an USB pen drive (with 60MB of free space) and the filled request form (see below). So we will provide you with a copy of the software.
You can have a personal copy of Sophos Antivirus only if you have a long term contract or collaboration with Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A. (at least one year)

When your collaboration finishes, you must remove this software from your home computer.

Guests

For temporary users (guests or beamline users) using their own computer inside Elettra and with no antivirus installed, we can also provide them with a copy of our Sophos antivirus. In this case they will have to remove it immediately after finishing their visit or experiment at Elettra.
