McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
Installing VirusScan software on a local computer
Note which type of VirusScan software distribution you have, then follow the
corresponding steps to prepare your files for installation.
•
If you downloaded your copy of VirusScan software
from the Network
Associates website, from a server on your local network, or from another
electronic service, make a new, temporary folder on your hard disk, then
use WinZip, PKZIP, or a similar utility to extract the VirusScan installation
files to that temporary folder. You can download the necessary utilities
from most online services.
Ë
IMPORTANT:
If you suspect that your computer has a virus,
download the VirusScan software installation files onto a computer
that is
not
infected. Install the copy onto the uninfected computer,
then use the Emergency Disk utility to make a disk that you can use
to boot the infected computer and remove the virus. To learn more,
see
“If you suspect you have a virus...” on page 63
.
•
If your copy of VirusScan software came on a CD-ROM
, insert that disc
into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
If you inserted a CD-ROM, you should see a VirusScan welcome image appear
automatically. To install VirusScan software immediately, click
Install
, then
skip to
Step 5 on page 36
to continue with Setup. If the welcome image does
not appear, or if you are installing VirusScan software from files you
downloaded, start with
Step 2 on page 35
.
Ë
IMPORTANT:
Because Setup installs some VirusScan files as services on
Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and Windows 2000 Professional systems,
you must log in to your system with Administrator rights to install this
product. To run Setup on Windows 95 or Windows 98, you do not need
to log in with any particular profile or rights.
Installation steps
McAfee recommends that you first quit all other applications you have
running on your system before you start Setup. Doing so reduces the
possibility that software conflicts will interfere with your installation.
To install VirusScan software, follow these steps:
1. If your computer runs Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000
Professional, log on to your system as Administrator. You must have
administrative rights to install VirusScan software on your system.
