Verifying installation rights

Verify that you have local administrator rights for the computer where you plan to install VirusScan Enterprise.

Preserving settings during product upgrade

If you are installing VirusScan Enterprise on a computer with an earlier version of VirusScan Enterprise, you can preserving settings from the earlier version.
Configuration settings for saved tasks.
User-specified extensions.
Exclusions settings.
Access protection rules are preserved using this logic:
1 The current VirusScan Enterprise rules are read from the registry.
2 Each of the local VirusScan Enterprise rules are compared against all of the
VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 default rules.
3 If no exact match is found when comparing local rules to the default rules, then the
rule is added to the list of rules to preserve.
4 For port blocking rules, if the local rule differs from the default rule only in its
inclusions, then the rule is placed in a separate list of rules to be merged with the equivalent VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i rules.
5 The white list for each of the port rules, from Step 4, is merged with the white list of
the equivalent VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i rule, and a newly formed rule is written to the registry for use by VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i.
6 The modified default rules, if any from Step 3, are converted to the new VirusScan
Enterprise 8.7i rule format and written to the registry. These preserved rules are included in the user-defined rules.

VirusScan® Enterprise software version 8.7i Installation Guide Pre-Installation Information

Meeting system requirements

The decision to combine the white lists of the port blocking rules that have only had their white list modified is based on the assumption that the user has specific software
Note
that they do not want blocked by the default port blocking rule.
Detection definition (DAT) file version, if the previous version is later than the
version in the installation package.
Scanning engine version, if the previous version is later than the version in the
installation package.
Log file names and locations are preserved.
Although the name and location are preserved, the log file format is changed from ANSI to
Note
UTF8. When the format is changed, the log file is renamed to *.BAK.
The registry keys containing installation file locations and product versions are not preserved.
If you do not want to preserve settings, you can deselect the option during installation or remove the previous version of the software before installing the current version.

Installation scenarios

Use these scenarios to customize your installation:
Scenario Description
Silent A silent installation does not display the installation wizard or offer the
user any configuration options. Instead, you preconfigure those choices and run Setup in the background on each destination computer. You can install VirusScan Enterprise software on any unattended computer with or without the user’s knowledge, provided you have the necessary administrator rights.
Add these options to run a silent or semi-silent installation:
q or qn Silent installation. This installs default settings unless you
specify otherwise. For example, the product license default is a 1 Year Subscription.
qb Basic user interface. Use qb! to hide the Cancel button.qb+ Basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at the
end of installation. Use qb+! or qb!+ to hide the Cancel button.The modal dialog box is not displayed if the user cancels the installation.
qb- Basic user interface with no modal dialog boxes. Use qb-! or qb!-
to hide the Cancel button.
qf Full user interface and any authored FatalError, UserExit, or Exit
modal dialog box displayed at the end of installation.
qn+ No user interface except for a modal dialog box displayed at the
end of installation.
qr Reduced user interface with no modal dialog displayed at the end
of installation
Custom Location Add the installdir property to specify the location. For example, to
silently install VirusScan Enterprise software to C:\My AntiVirus Software, type this text at the command prompt:
setup.exe INSTALLDIR="c:\My AntiVirus Software" /q
Login Script Add a Setup command to your login script to install VirusScan
Enterprise software at the time each of your destination computers starts. Include all of the options and properties for governing how Setup runs. For example, you can add a property to look for the VirusScan Enterprise default program location.
3
Notes and Tips
To use a login script for this purpose, you must also copy or push the VirusScan Enterprise installation package to a local location on the destination computer.

Yes or No.

Using the command line to remove program files

Use this syntax to remove the software:
<X>:\SETUP.EXE /x
Here, <X>: represents the drive letter for your CD-ROM or the path of the folder that contains the extracted program files. To search for the correct files on your hard disk or CD, click Browse. If your copy of the software came on a product suite CD, you must also specify which folder contains the specific software package.

Using the Add/Remove Programs utility to remove program files

1 Click Start, then select Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs to open the
Add/Remove Programs utility that is included in the Windows Control Panel
2 Select the VirusScan Enterprise program from the list of installed programs, then

We strongly recommend that you restart your computer after removing files and before you reinstall the software.
Note
When you remove files using Setup on the command line, some files or stopped services may not be removed. For example, if you remove the VirusScan Enterprise product while the McAfee Task Manager or the McShield services are stopped, these services are not removed. Restarting after removing files ensures that all files and services are removed before reinstalling the software.

Testing your installation

Once installed, the software can scan your system for potentially unwanted files. You can test whether it is installed correctly and can properly scan for potentially unwanted programs by implementing a test developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research (EICAR).
To test your installation:
1 Using a standard Windows text editor such as Notepad, type the following string,
on a single line with no spaces or line breaks:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
2 Save the file with the name EICAR.COM. The file size is 68 or 70 bytes. Make a note
of the folder in which you saved the file.
3 Start the VirusScan Enterprise program.
4 To test the on-demand scanner, create an on-demand scan task that examines the
folder where you saved finding the
5 To test the on-access scanner, confirm that the on-access scanner is configured to
