Introduction to Total Protection Service

This guide contains the information required to prepare for and install the McAfee®Total

Protection Service software on client computers.

NOTE: Some types of protection managed by Total Protection Service do not reside as software

on client computers. Therefore, they are not included in this guide. If your purchase included

email protection, the email server security application, or vulnerability scanning, refer to emails

and materials from McAfee for instructions on installing them.

Installation environment

Total Protection Service is designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems running on a PC

platform. The client software installs and runs on computers equipped with:

• An Intel Pentium processor or compatible architecture.

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.

Check these topics for additional requirements and support guidelines:

•

When upgrading the operating system

If you upgrade the operating system on a client computer (for example, from Windows 2000

to Windows XP) and you want to leave your existing files and programs intact during the

upgrade, you must first uninstall Total Protection Service. You can reinstall it after the upgrade

is complete.

Support for Windows Home Server

A different version of the Total Protection Service client software is being developed for

computers running Microsoft Windows Home Server. Administrators running Windows Home

Server software will have access to the SecurityCenter to download this version, which will allow

the Total Protection Service client software to interact with the Windows Home Server console.

Please note these differences between the two versions of Total Protection Service:

• Installing on computers running Windows Home Server requires a different installation

program than the one described in this guide in order to interact with the Windows Home

Server console.

• Download the installation program from the Utilities page of the SecurityCenter (when the

program becomes available).

• The client software for Windows Home Server supports only virus and spyware protection.

• A separate product guide that describes the installation process and features unique to the

Windows Home Server product will be available from the Help page of the SecurityCenter.

Introduction to Total Protection Service

Installation environment

7McAfee Total Protection Service Installation Guide

• Installation methods described in this guide are not supported installation methods of the

client software on a computer running Windows Home Server.

Operating system support ending

Support for the Windows 2000 operating system is scheduled to end.

Computers running Total Protection Service will still be protected from existing threats, but they

will no longer receive product updates and DAT files updated with protection for the latest

threats.

For more information about support for Windows 2000, visit:

http://www.mcafee.com/us/small/support/customer_service/end_life.html

Notifying users when support ends

By default, Total Protection Service displays notifications on client computers to remind users

that support is ending for their operating system. Notifications appear:

• When upgrades to product components, such as the scanning engine, are scheduled to end

on a specific date or will end within 30 days.

• When updates to detection definition (DAT) files have ended or will end within 30 days.

A policy option determines whether support notifications are displayed. However, notifications

are not displayed for computers running versions of Windows for which support has already

ended.

Use this task to enable or disable automatic notifications.
