Installing and Using SecureW2 for Windows Mobile

The ACCC supports SecureW2, open-source program for use on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines, and also on Windows Mobile smartphones and PDAs. After you install Secure W2, you don't run it as software in itself. Instead, it integrates into the Windows network configuration utility. The instructions in this page are for Windows Mobile.

If you have any issues with installing or configuring SecureW2, please visit the ACCCeSS Helpdesk.

If you are currently using Odyssey, you must switch to SecureW2 by July 6, 2009.
