Installing VirusScan Software Figure 2-4. Incompatible software panel 7. Select the checkbox shown, then click Next>. Setup will start the uninstallation utility that the conflicting software normally uses, and allow it to remove the software. The uninstallation utility might tell you that you need to restart your computer to completely remove the other software. You do not need to do so to continue with your VirusScan installation-so long as the other software is not active, Setup can continue without conflicts. Š NOTE: McAfee strongly recommends that you remove incompatible software. Because most anti-virus software operates at a very low level within your system, two anti-virus programs that compete for access to the same files or that perform critical operations can make your system very unstable. If your computer runs Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional, Setup next asks you which security mode you want to use to run VirusScan software on your system (see Figure 2-5 on page 41). The options in this panel govern whether others who use your computer can make changes to the configuration options you choose, can schedule and run tasks, or can enable and disable VirusScan components. VirusScan software includes extensive security measures to ensure that unauthorized users cannot make any changes to software configurations in Maximum Security mode. The Standard Security mode allows all users to have access to all configuration options. Either option you choose here will install the same VirusScan version, with the same configuration options, and with the same scheduled tasks for all system users. 40 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
