NOTE: If your VirusScan software copy came on an Active Virus
Defense or a Total Virus Defense CD-ROM, you must also specify
which folder contains the VirusScan software.
Before it continues with the installation, Setup first asks you whether it
should check to see whether you have previous VirusScan versions
installed on your computer (
Figure 2-2 ).

4. Click Yes to continue. If you click No , Setup quits immediately.
If you have a previous VirusScan version on your system, Setup will find
it immediately. It will then remove the previous version, but will
temporarily preserve the configuration options you set for that version if
your system is running Windows 95 or Windows 98. A later step (see
Step 7 on page 37 ) will allow you to transfer those options to the current
VirusScan installation.
After it removes any previous VirusScan versions you have on your
system, Setup checks to see whether your computer already has version
1.1 of the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) utility running as part of
your system software.
