Installing McAfee VirusScan Home
Edition
Before you begin
McAfee distributes VirusScan software in two ways:
1 As an archived file that you can download from the McAfee web site.
2 On CD-ROM.
Although the method you use to transfer VirusScan files from an archive
obtained via download differs from the method you use to transfer files from
a CD that is placed in your CD-ROM drive, the installation steps followed after
that are the same for both distribution types. Review the system requirements
shown below to verify that VirusScan software will run on your system.
