If the Setup program detects an older version of McAfee VirusScan or McAfee Firewall, you will be prompted to exit Setup and uninstall the older programs. After uninstalling the older programs, you can restart Setup. To install McAfee VirusScan Professional: - (1) If your computer runs Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP, log on to your system as a user with administrative rights. You must have administrative rights to install this software on your system. - (2) Insert the Installation CD into your computerÆs CD-ROM drive. If an the Autorun Installation menu does not automatically display, go to Step 3. Otherwise, skip to Step 4. - (3) Use the following procedure if the Autorun installation menu does not display, or, if you obtained your software via download at a McAfee web site. - From the Windows Start menu, select Run. The Run dialog box displays. - Type <X>:\SETUP.EXE in the Run dialog text box, and click OK. Here, <X> represents the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive or the path to the folder that contains your extracted VirusScan Professional files. - To search for the correct files on your hard disk or CD-ROM, click Browse. - (4) Before proceeding with the installation, Setup first checks to see whether your computer is already running the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) utility running as part of your system software. - If your computer runs Windows XP, Windows Me, or Windows 2000, MSI already exists on your system. If your computer runs an earlier Windows release, you may still have MSI in your computer if you previously installed other software that uses MSI. In either of these cases, Setup will display its first wizard panel immediately. Skip to Step 5 to continue. - If Setup does not find MSI or an earlier version of MSI is installed in your computer, it installs files necessary to continue the installation, then prompts you to restart your computer. Click Restart System. When your computer restarts, Setup will continue from where it left off. - (5) Refer to the steps displayed on the Installation Wizard to complete your installation. ________________________________________ ** Additional Installation Information** - OEM Installation: Use the steps below to install VirusScan Professional: Note: These steps prevent insert disk #1 messages from displaying. - Copy the VirusScan installation files from the installation CD to a network location or local hard disk. - Install VirusScan Professional. - Delete the installation files. - When installing the VirusScan Professional MSI, use the following command: MSIEXEC /I <Path to VirusScan MSI> /QN FASTOEM=1 MEDIAPACKAGEPATH=<Path to VirusScanMSI location> Example: msiexec /i d:\vsp\vsp.msi/qn FASTOEM=1 MEDIAPACKAGEPATH=\vsp\ ___________________________________ * IN2 - TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION * The EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to implement one standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus installations. 1. To test your installation, copy the following line into its own file, then save the file with the name EICAR.COM. X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* 2. The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes. 3. Next, start your anti-virus software and allow it to scan the directory that contains EICAR.COM. When your software scans this file, it will report finding the EICAR test file. Note: This file is NOT A VIRUS. Delete the file when you have finished testing our installation to avoid alarming unsuspecting users. __________________ KN1 - KNOWN ISSUES - The (QuickClean Lite) MRU Cleaner may not remove all most recently used files (MRU) shortcuts from an Office XP applicationÆs "File" menu. Office XP users may encounter situations where QuickClean LiteÆs MRU Cleaner is unable to remove MRU shortcuts created by an Office XP program (e.g., Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). Although QuickClean Lite physically removes the MRU shortcut from your computer, it does not remove the shortcut item displayed on the Office XP programÆs File menu. If you attempt to open a document using an MRU previously removed by the MRU Cleaner, you will not be able open the document. - Limitations to Windows XP Fast User Switching Windows XP Fast User Switching is feature that enables multiple users to log on to one computer at the same time and switch quickly between their open accounts. Each user account has its own running programs and settings. The current user does not log off in order to switch to another user. Because of the amount of system resources required to maintain anti-virus protection for all users logged on to their Windows XP accounts, McAfee VirusScan does support running on more than six user accounts concurrently. - Using VirusScan with Eudora If HAWKÆs pattern matching capability detects mass outgoing e-mail traffic, you will be presented with multiple and concurrent alert messages. This behavior is normal due to the manner in which Eudora transmits outgoing e-mail messages. - Previous version settings not retained. If you are upgrading to McAfee VirusScan 7.0 from an older version of this product (6.0 or older), the Setup program does not retain the settings from your previous versionÆs installation (e.g., scan settings). We therefore recommend that if you want to customize your VirusScan settings to suit your needs that you do so at your earliest convenience. - The Firewall Network Traffic monitor displayed on the VirusScan Home page does not function as an integrated component if you install McAfee VirusScan with an older version of McAfee Firewall (3.0 or older). All other features related to the individual programs will continue to function properly. - McAfee VirusScan is not currently compatible with Autodesk software. For additional information, please visit us at www.mcafeehelp.com. - Microsoft ActiveSync will generate the following VirusScan HAWK Alert window popup: "HAWK has detected a script attempting to perform actions that are potentially hostile and could harm you computer. A script executes a group of commands without user intervention. Script File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe This script is attempting to call the GetDefaultFolder method which GetDefaultFolder Method. Do you want to allow this script to run?" Workaround: *** This is not a harmful script and you can allow this script to run. *** - If you install McAfee VirusScan 7.0 and then install an older version of any McAfee product, uninstalling McAfee VirusScan 7.0 may corrupt and render the older McAfee product ineffective. The older McAfee products affected are as follows: - McAfee Firewall 3.x and older - McAfee Internet Security 4.x and older - Internet Guard Dog 3.0 and older - McAfee QuickClean 2.x and older - McAfee Uninstaller 6.5 and older To remedy this problem: 1. Uninstall the older McAfee product. 2. Restart your computer. 3. Reinstall the older McAfee product. - Installation / uninstallation issues: - Uninstallation does not remove all Registry entries - VirusScan 3.X must be manually uninstalled before installing this VirusScan 7.0 - Important Information Regarding Windows XP Migration: Upgrading your computer's operating system from any version of Windows to Windows XP causes all McAfee products installed before migration to become disabled after migration to Windows XP. You will be made aware of this issue as you make your first attempt to start a McAfee product (after migration) - you will be instructed to reinstall the product. Therefore, you will need to uninstall all McAfee products and reinstall using your installation CD or the software obtained from McAfee via download. Please note, you can uninstall this product before or after upgrading to Windows XP. - To remove this program from your computer; to repair your installation; or to change its installation configuration, you must log in to your computer with a user-id that has administrative rights if your computerÆs operating system is Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP [Home or Professional]. - Windows XP installation issues: When you install a program on your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, you may receive an error message similar to the following: Error 1606. Could not access network location <Common Administrative Tools>.All users\. This behavior can occur if there is an incorrect setting in the following registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Common Administrative Tools Use these steps to resolve this behavior: Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on your computer. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe. (1) Click Start, and click Run. (2) In the Open box, type regedit, and click OK. (3) Locate and click (highlight) the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders (4) In the right pane of the Registry Editor window, double-click Common Administrative Tools. (5) In the Value data box of the Edit String dialog box that displays, type the following line, and then click OK: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools (6) On the File menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor. (7) Restart the computer. - Changing the color depth or color palette of your monitorÆs Display Settings to a 256-color mode while McAfee VirusScan is running may cause the text on any VirusScan window to be difficult to read. If this situation occurs, close McAfee VirusScan by clicking the Windows close button [X]. Restart McAfee VirusScan. - As VirusScan performs an on-demand scan of compressed archive (e.g., .zip file) the VirusScan scan engine traverses and scans all files included in the compressed archive. However, the VirusScan Summary detail reports each compressed archive scanned as one file scanned. - If the text displayed on the Autorun image is illegible; or appears in an unrecognizable font, then there may be too many fonts installed in your computer. NOTE: The Autorun image presents you with an on-screen installation menu after you insert the McAfee installation CD into your computerÆs CD-ROM drive. To install this product, from your Windows Desk top, right-click My Computer and select Browse. Locate the following program file: <x>:\vsp\setup.exe. Here X represents the drive letter of your computerÆs CD-ROM drive. Double-click setup.exe to install McAfee VirusScan. Refer to the steps displayed on the Installation Wizard to complete your installation. - Installation of VirusScan on a computer with a Windows 2000 o/s and Adaptec DirectCD 4.0 or earlier will cause your computer to enter an endless shut-down and re-start loop - immediately upon your first attempt to restart your computer. To prevent this incident from occurring, do one of the following: A. Install Adaptec DirectCD 5.01 or later before installing McAfee VirusScan. B. Refer to the steps below to correct the problem. - As your computer attempts to restart, switch to SAFE MODE of start-up. - Access the Windows control panel and double-click the VirusScan icon. - Select the Services tab and clear the "Load on startup" check box. Click OK. - Restart your computer normally. - Install Adaptec DirectCD 5.01 or later. - After you have installed DirectCD 5.01, access the Windows control panel and double-click the VirusScan icon. Select the Services tab and check the "Load on startup" check box. Click OK and restart your computer. - VirusScan's VShield on-access scanner (OAS) by design - does not identify infected files compressed into zip archives until the user extracts the files from the archive. - Users of PSION devices upgrading their computer's operating system to Windows 2000 or Windows XP require PsiWin v2.3.3 (or higher) to connect with their wireless device. The latest version of this software is available at: http://www.psion.com" - Insufficient Drive Space messages: Free drive space, in addition to the amount described under "System Requirements - MB of hard disk space", must be available to run Setup and install your McAfee product. The amount of additional space depends upon your computer's Operating System and its configuration. If, during setup, you receive an "insufficient drive space" message, exit setup and remove unnecessary files from your computer. Re-start Setup. Perform these steps as necessary until you do not receive an insufficient drive space message." - Safe & Sound is only available for Windows 98, and Windows Me. For more information about Safe & Sound please refer to on-line help or your Product Guide. - Disk defragmentation programs move files to maximize hard disk efficiency. If you have the VShield scanner, the VirusScan application, or another application active during a disk defragmentation operation, your defragmentation program might tell you that it cannot find the active application files. This is normal and does not mean that the files do not exist. To avoid error messages like this, close all open applications and disable the VShield scanner, then run your disk defragmentation operation again. NOTE: Please be sure to disconnect from the Internet before you disable VirusScan. - VirusScan 7.0 will not correctly interpret the settings saved in older .VSC files. VirusScan 4.0.3 or older .VSC files are not recognized by version 7.0. - If you update your .DAT files from a UNC shared folder on a Windows NT-based system, using an account other than the account of the currently logged in user, the Windows operating system allows that UNC shared folder to be accessible to the currently logged on user until the computer is rebooted. In order to improve the security of the UNC shared folder, McAfee recommends that you designate it "Read only." - The System Restore functionality in Windows Millennium Edition preserves all deleted files. As a result, if you select "Delete" as the scannerÆs response to detecting an infection, the file is not actually deleted, but moved to the _Restore folder, from which the VirusScan software cannot delete it. Microsoft refers to this condition in an article located at the following URL: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/4/55.ASP. - When multiple users are used in a Windows 2000 or Windows XP [Home or Professional] system, the user has the ability to secure folders located on an NTFS-formatted drive. These secured folders cannot be scanned by any user other than its owner, or those authorized by the owner, with VSC. To scan these folders, the owner or authorized user of the folder, must log on and execute the scan. - Instant Updater is unable to determine the actions performed by the user after downloading a product upgrade. Product upgrades consist of patches and bug fixes, etc; and do not include incremental DAT's (virus definition files). The upgrade process runs using a program that applies an upgrade independently of McAfee's Instant Updater tool. As such, Instant Updater's summary screen displays the same result: "successful" message, regardless of whether the user completes the upgrade process or not. - Scenario: An attempt to update a McAfee product using Instant Updater returns the following error message: "Instant Updater was unable to communicate with the server. Please try again later. (-202)." This message displays in response to one of the following events: - The McAfee server is busy or not available. Solution: Try again later. - Instant Updater was unable to communicate with the server due to no Internet connection. Solution: Verify your computer maintains an Internet connection. If you are not connected, reconnect and try again. - Instant Updater not properly installed. If the following error message displays: Error -103 (Instant Updater is not properly installed), please download and install Microsoft's updated XML parser. You can find the MSXML Parser 3.0 Service Pack 2 Release update at the following location (you can copy and paste this URL into the address bar of your Internet browser): http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/772/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true If you continue to receive -103 errors after applying this Microsoft patch, the update may not have registered a file correctly. Therefore, please try the following: (1) From the Windows task bar, select Start > Run (The Run dialog displays). (2) In the Run dialog type the following: regsvr32 "%SystemRoot%\System32\msxml3.dll" NOTE: %SystemRoot% is a variable that refers to the default Windows\system directory. Windows 98/ME - Substitute c:\windows\system for '%SystemRoot%/System32' (3) Click OK. You should receive a message that the DllRegisterServer succeeded. If you continue to receive -103 errors, please contact technical support. - The Instant Updater progress indicators do not display progress details after downloading updates. Although it appears that Instant Updater has stopped responding, please be patient and allow Instant Updater to complete the Applying product upgrade task. - AOL stops responding after updating. After you update this product, Instant Updater may prompt you to restart your computer. If you click "Yes" to restart your computer now and your computerÆs default browser is AOL, you may experience situations where your computer does not shut down. If you experience this situation, simply restart your computer to apply the updates. - Scenario: An attempt to update a McAfee product using Instant Updater returns the following error message: "Instant Updater was unable to communicate with the server. Please try again later. (-202)." This message displays in response to one of the following events: - The McAfee server is busy or not available: Solution: Try again later. - Instant Updater was unable to communicate with the server due to no Internet connection. Solution: Verify your computer maintains an Internet connection. If you are not connected, reconnect and try again. - McAfee Shredder is not able to shred folder entries if your computer's operating system is Windows 2000 or Windows XP [Home or Professional]. - McAfee Shredder does not support the ability to "Erase free space" or "Erase an entire disk" if your computer's operating system is Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Windows 2000 Professional. - McAfee Shredder is not able to shred items in your recycle bin if your operating system is installed with the NTFS file system. _______________________________ FQ1 - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions about McAfee products are also available on the Networks Associates web site, on CompuServe, and on America Online. Q: I am installing new software on my computer, and the manual recommends disabling any anti- virus software. How do I disable the VShield scanner without uninstalling it? A: If you are running the VirusScan software on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, you must first log into your system with administrative rights, then follow the steps outlined below in order to disable the VShield scanner. If you are running the software on a Windows 98 or Windows Me system, you can follow these steps immediately: - Right-click the VShield icon located in your system tray next to the system clock, then choose "disable VirusScan" from the shortcut menu. VShield asks you if you are sure you want to disable background scanning. Click Yes. - After you install your new software, you can reactivate the VShield scanner by double-clicking the VirusScan Central shortcut on your desktop, or from the Windows Start menu select Start > Programs > McAfee > McAfee VirusScan. When you are prompted to load VShield, click Yes. Lastly, you can right-click the VShield icon located in the system tray and select "Launch McAfee VirusScan." Q: I've activated the VirusScan software's heuristic scanning option, and now it identifies some viruses as "unknown." Why? A: The heuristic scanning feature looks for "virus-like" characteristics in the files it scans. When it finds a sufficient number of these characteristics, the program concludes that the file is infected. This powerful technique allows the program to discover viruses that are so new that they do not yet have names or identities. The program will, however, identify viruses by name when they match its list of known viruses. Q: When it detects an infection in files compressed in .CAB or ZIP-SFX format, why doesn't the VirusScan program clean, delete, or move the files? A: Because files compressed in .CAB and ZIP-SFX formats can include a Microsoft Authenticode certificate, altering the files can render them unusable. To avoid this possibility, the program does not clean, delete, or move infected files compressed in .CAB or ZIP-SFX format. McAfee recommends that you decompress any infected files compressed in these formats, then run your scan operation again to clean the uncompressed files. Q: The VirusScan software detected a virus on my system, but it is not one of the default files listed in its Program Extensions dialog box. Therefore, I suspect it might be a false detection. What can I do to verify a detected virus? A: If you suspect a false detection on a non-executable file, run SCAN.EXE, the VirusScan command line scanner, to verify the infection. If the VirusScan application detects a virus and SCAN.EXE does not, download the latest .DAT file update, then scan your system again. If the VirusScan application still detects a virus that you suspect is a false detection, please report the issue to Networks Associates technical support. Q: Can I update McAfee data (.DAT) files to detect new viruses? A: Yes. To perform this task, select "Check for a VirusScan update" from the Task list located on the VirusScan Home page. Or, select "Other tasks" and click McAfee Instant Updater. RESULT: Instant Updater starts and queries our updating servers. If the results of the query reveal that there is an update to your DAT files available, you can direct Instant Updater to download and apply the updates to your DATs. You can also go to www.mcafee-at-home.com and download the latest superDAT update utility. Q: Why are additional extensions added to the User Specified Files list? A: As the McAfee Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (AVERT) finds viruses that can infect new file types, it adds new extensions to the default extensions list to enhance security. For instance, new viruses can infect Microsoft Office binder files, so the default extensions list now includes the file extension for these binder files so that VirusScan will examine them for viruses. Q: I'm running Microsoft Exchange Client 5.0, and the icons that tell me that the VirusScan application can run a scan operation from thin Exchange aren't showing on my toolbar. Why? A: Because of a limitation in Microsoft Exchange Client v5.0, the two Exchange On-demand scan icons will not appear in the Exchange toolbar. Consult your Exchange documentation to learn how to place these icons onto the toolbar. Q: I'm running Microsoft Office 2000, and the VirusScan icons that let me configure and run scan operations aren't showing anywhere in my Outlook 2000 toolbar. Are they hidden? A: By default, Microsoft Office hides icons that you have not used in a long time. To see the icons, click the arrows at the far right of the Outlook toolbar. Q: I have a .VSC settings file I used with the last VirusScan version I had on my system. Can I still use this file with this VirusScan release? A: No, this VirusScan version does not interpret some of the settings in earlier .VSC file versions in the same way, so earlier files will not work correctly. McAfee recommends that you create and save your settings in a new .VSC file for use with this version. ____________________________ AD1 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - How to remove VirusScan Professional Edition "on the device" components from your wireless device - Select the drop-down list, and select Delete - Select fileinfo, press 'Delete' - When the device asks you to confirm deletion, select 'Yes' - Select 'Syncscan', press 'Delete' - When the device asks you to confirm deletion, select 'Yes' - Select 'VirusScan', press 'Delete' - When the device asks you to confirm deletion, select 'Yes' - Select 'Done' - How to re-enable the on-access system scanner (OAS) not loaded alert message.
