Introduction
8 McAfee VirusScan TC
Keep in mind:
• You can set and enforce policy for VirusScan TC centrally from the
ePolicy Orchestrator Console as soon as you install the ePolicy
Orchestrator agent on the target computers.
• You cannot configure the program before deploying it across your
network. The program is sent to the workstations with default settings.
• If you are not running the ePolicy Orchestrator program, orif an ePolicy
Orchestratoragentisnotpresentontheworkstation,thereis nointerface
through which you can change the program’s default settings. Nor is
there any functionality that allows you to update the program’s virus
definitionfiles.
The Complete Installation approach is useful where:

other than approved deployment software, such as SMS or NT login
scripts.
• The administrator prefers using existing SMS or Windows NT login
scripts.
• The administrator does not intend to configure the VirusScan TC
program when it is deployed and installed, but rather intends to
configure the anti-virus program at a later time.
