Anti-Virus Software

GE encourages customers to use third-party anti-virus (AV) software of their choice and to keep it current with the latest updates.

While GE does not specifically certify any particular AV supplier’s software, we do test our products with GE’s corporate standard (currently McAfee) installed and running on all test and system lab machines. In the event there is a Workflow product defect discovered while running any AV software, GE will make all reasonable efforts to provide a solution. However, if the issue is found to be based on specific behavior of the AV software, the customer might be advised to work with the AV software vendor and/or switch to another AV software vendor to get resolution to their issue.
