Installation and uninstallation

During uninstallation, the AntiVir services are stopped, all report files and infected files

(in quarantine) are deleted.

During uninstallation you can specify that the directories with the report files and the

quarantine are not deleted.

4.3 Installation and uninstallation on the network

To simplify installation of AntiVir programs on a network of multiple client computers

for the system administrator, your AntiVir program has a special procedure for the

initial installation and the change installation.

For automatic installation, the setup program works with the control file setup.inf. The

setup program (presetup.exe) is contained in the program’s installation package.

Installation is started with a script or batch file and all necessary information is obtained

from the control file. The script commands therefore replace the usual manual inputs

during installation.

Note

Please note that a license file is obligatory for initial installation on the network.

Note

Please note that an installation package for the AntiVir program is required for

installation via a network. An installation file for Internet-based installation cannot be

used.

AntiVir programs can be easily shared on the network with a server login script or via

SMS.

For information on installation and uninstallation on the network:

– see Chapter: Command line parameter for the setup program

– see Chapter: Parameter of the file setup.inf

– see Chapter: Installation on the network

– see Chapter: Uninstallation on the network
