RADS is a free anti-virus and anti-spyware service provided by the Rutgers University Office of Information Technology to all current students, faculty, and staff. RADS is compatbile with all Microsoft operating systems from Windows XP through Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. It works with workstation and server editions and runs on X86, AMD64, EM64T, and IA64 processors.

As of Jan 31, 2011, Trend Micro OfficeScan will no longer be supported at the University beyond removal of the application. All RADS users are recommended to update their systems with RADS 7 which will remove OfficeScan and replace it with Symantec Endpoint Protection.

RADS 7 is based on Symantec Endpoint Protection Software.
