Updating and Upgrading VirusScan Software In most cases, you will not need to restart in order for VirusScan software to use new program files, but some systems will require that you do so in order for the new files to activate. If you want to restart your system at a more convenient time, clear this checkbox. 3. To save your changes and return to the Automatic Upgrade dialog box, click OK. To close the dialog box without saving your changes, click Cancel. Using the AutoUpgrade and SuperDAT utilities together For this release, you must modify the SuperDAT package you download from the McAfee website in order to use it with the AutoUpgrade utility. Š NOTE: VirusScan v4.5 and later releases require you to use the SuperDAT v1.2 or later utility. To modify the SuperDAT package, follow these steps: 1. Rename SDATXXXX.EXE to SETUP.EXE. Here, the XXXX refers to the SuperDAT version number included as part of the file name. 2. Download the file AUTOUPG.ZIP, which you will find on the Network Associates FTP site in this location: ftp://:@ftp.nai.com/licensed/antivirus /superdat/tools/ Š NOTE: Here, is your Network Associates corporate site access username, and is your corporate site access password. To download these files, you must have access to the site as a licensed McAfee customer. AUTOUPG.ZIP contains the file PKGDESC.INI. Extract PKGDESC.INI from the .ZIP archive, then copy both the extracted file and the renamed SETUP.EXE package to the server from which you want other computers on your network to download updated files. Both PKGDESC.INI and SETUP.EXE must be present for AutoUpgrade to download update files correctly. Š NOTE: If your upgrade server runs UNIX or another case-sensitive operating system, verify that you have named the PKGDESC.INI file correctly. The AutoUpdate version included with VirusScan anti-virus software expects to find a lower-case filename: pkgdesc.ini. 250 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
