If you do not find the Defender icon in your tray menu, or still find the Symantec icon, please restart your computer, which will allow it to apply the latest updates and software. If you still do not find the new icon in your tray menu, please contact DECS Support (contact information below), who can assist you with ensuring Defender is working properly.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance as we work to keep our information systems secure.
