Administrator’s Guide 39
Installing VirusScan Software
The options in this panel govern whether others who use your computer
can make changes to the configuration options you choose, can schedule
and run tasks, or can enable and disable VirusScan components.
VirusScan software includes extensive security measures to ensure that
unauthorized users cannot make any changes to software configurations
in Maximum Security mode. The Standard Security mode allows all
users to have access to all configuration options.
Either option you choose here will install the same VirusScan version,
with the same configuration options, and with the same scheduled tasks
for all system users.

• Use Maximum Security . Select this option to require users to have
Administrator rights to your computer in order to change any
configuration options, to enable or disable any VirusScan

Users who do not have administrative rights may still configure and
run their own scan operations with the VirusScan application and
save settings for those operations in a .VSC file, but they cannot
change default VirusScan application settings. To learn more about
how to configure and save VirusScan application settings, see
Chapter 5, “Using the VirusScan application,” in the User’s Guide .
• Use Standard Security . Select this option to give any user who logs
into your computer the ability to change any configuration option,
enable or disable and VirusScan component, or schedule and run
any task.
