Broadband for Seniors

The AVAST! Pro antivirus application that is installed on the BFS kiosk computers has expired. Please do not attempt to renew the Avast! Pro antivirus application. A new Avast! Pro licence has been purchased and NEC will be sending out new software image disks to all sites, along with other updates. But kiosk sites will not receive these disks prior to the expiry date. To ensure that site kiosk computers have some form of antivirus protection, we advise that ALL sites should install a FREEWARE VERSION of a good antivirus application. We recommend Avast! Free. Click here for details on installing Avast! Free.
