Configuring advanced upgrade options
To complete your AutoUpgrade task, you need to enter only a target server, a

the VirusScan program directory.
To have AutoUpgrade do additional pre- or post-processing on the files, or to
have it take other actions, click the Advanced Upgrade Options tab to display
