Software

Before you begin

During Setup, you can choose to install VirusScan software either on your
local computer, or on other computers elsewhere on the network. The first
option copies VirusScan program files to your computer's hard disk. The
second option copies selected components to the target workstation.
McAfee distributes VirusScan software in two ways: as an archived file that
you can download from the McAfee website or from other electronic services,
and on CD-ROM disc. Once you have downloaded a VirusScan archive or
placed your VirusScan installation disc in your CD-ROM drive, the
installation steps are the same.
To install VirusScan software, you must have Administrator privileges for the
workstation on which you plan to install the program. Review the items
shown in
workstations can run VirusScan software.
