Does your PC have the current level of McAfee VirusScan and Scan Engine installed?  Follow these instructions to find out:

1. Right click on the McAfee icon in the bottom right of your screen (red and blue shield), and click about.

2. A screen will pop up with McAfee VirusScan at the top of the box.  Inside the box are Serial number, Virus definitions, Created on, and Scan engine.

3. If your scan engine is less than 4.1.50 you must update your scan engine.  If your scan engine is 4.1.50 or above you do not need the update and should not be affected by the SMS/logon push, although you will still receive smaller weekly virus definition updates.

4. If your VirusScan (found at the top of the pop up box) is less than 4.5.0 you must update the VirusScan as well.  

Note: The McAfee VirusScan 4.5 already contains the current Scan engine.  Therefore, if you need to install McAfee 4.5 it is not necessary to install the Scan engine update.  If your VirusScan is at 4.5 but your Scan engine is down level you only need to install the Scan engine update.

Instructions for Updating to McAfee VirusScan 4.5 (field users only):

A few months ago field users received a CD from Information Systems containing an Internet Explorer upgrade to enable improvements in the SAP HR Employee Self Service System.  The CD also contained the current upgrade for McAfee.  It is important that you take time install this update by 10/25/01 to maintain current level virus protection. 

The program checks to see if there is 50 MBs of free space before it continues the install. If you need additional space contact help desk for assistance at 3HELP, 303.673.4357, or 1.800.688.7408.

The install program checks to see if Windows Installer is available on your PC.  If it is not, the program launches the Windows Installer installation.  You need to complete this install and then restart the McAfee program.  You do that by removing and reinserting the CD to display the menu.  The McAfee install program forces a reboot after uninstalling the current version of McAfee and again at the end of the program.

The install program takes about 10-15 minutes, including the reboot/logon actions.

To install McAfee VirusScan 4.5: 

1. Close all applications and insert the CD.

2. Check the box next to the correct McAfee install for your operating system. Caution: Highlighting the line does not check the box and the install may fail with a message that you have the wrong operating system

3. Click Ok on the message screen.

4. At the end of the install your PC will reboot. 

If you have any problems please contact the help desk at 3HELP or 303.673.4357 or 1.800.688.7408 for specific upgrade instructions.  A few situations that may require Help Desk assistance are as follows:

1. Dual Operating System (Dual Boot)
2. Norton Antivirus installed on PC
3.  Windows 98, or McAfee is not installed on your C drive (this could happen if you have a non-standard image installed)
4. The CD may not autostart.  If that happens, use Windows Explorer.

To run the CD if it does not automatically start when it is loaded in the CD tray:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Double click <CD Drive Letter>:\setup.exe.
