*Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems including the current versions of Microsoft Windows®, Linux®, Solaris™, and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriate operating system release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from memory buffer overrun attacks. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with Enhanced Virus Protection. AMD recommends that users continue to use third-party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.
