Preparing to install VirusScan software
After inserting the McAfee VirusScan on your CD-ROM drive , you should see
a VirusScan welcome image appear automatically. To install VirusScan
software immediately, click Install VirusScan, then skip to Step 4 to continue

VirusScan software from files you downloaded, start with Step 2.

Installation options
The Installation steps section describes how to install VirusScan software with

but leaves out some VShield modules and the ScreenScan utility—or you can
choose to do a Custom setup, which gives you the option to install all
VirusScan components.

to log in with any particular profile or rights.
