ePolicy Orchestrator Agent - (EPO agent)

Information Solutions and Services make use of an anti-virus management system called McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (EPO) to remotely monitor anti-virus software on Windows computers connected to the campus network. In the event of a virus outbreak, updates can be downloaded to client machines and infected computers identified.

An EPO agent is installed on each client computer which reports back details to the ePolicy Server. The agent itself takes up no more then 1.3MB of space. Correctly configured computers which have the EPO agent installed can have their virus definitions and McAfee VirusScan software automatically updated.

Note: EPO agent should only be installed on networked "on campus" computers and should not be installed on home computers.

To install the EPO agent on your computer
  • Users of Windows, please follow the steps outlined below:

    • Save your files and shut down any open programs 

    • Download the installation file. 
      You will be asked to open or to save the file. 
      Save the file to your desktop. 

    • Close your web browser and double-click on the file on the desktop called EPO.EXE to start the installation of the EPO file.
