Downloading and installing IUP's McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (8.0i)

First, make sure you don't already have virus protection installed on your PC.  If you do, uninstall it using either that uninstall feature your virus protection came with or by going into add/remove programs and removing it.  Many anti-virus programs have more than one programs associated with them under add/remove programs so make sure you remove them all before attempting to install McAfee.

You will need to enter your IUP Network account username, domain and password to download Mcafee.  If you don’t know this information log onto the URSA website to look them up.  Go to http://old.www.iup.edu/ursa/ and log into the secure Area.  Enter your ID and PIN #.  Select Personal Information and Surveys. Select Display Your IUP Computer Account Information for students.  Write down the information provided.  Then go to https://old.www.iup.edu/netpwdchg/ and change your initial password. 

To download McAfee go to http://old.www.iup.edu/tsc/iuponly/mcafee/vs80i.exe. This version only works with Windows XP, 200 and 2003.  As mentioned earlier, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ANY OTHER VIRUS PROTECTION BEFORE YOU INSTALL MCAFEE.  A window will open requesting you username and password.  You need to enter your iup network username, domain and network password.  If there is not a place to enter your domain, enter your it into the username field as domain\username.  All IUP students use IUPMSD as their domain so the format would be IUPMSD\ABCD were ABCD is your four letter username.

 

Once you’ve entered your information and clicked on OK you see the following window.

 

 

Click on open and follow through the installation procedure. You will need to reset your computer when the installation is finished.  As long as your PC can get to the internet McAfee should keep it self up to date but you may want to check it once in a while by right clicking on the shield icon on the bottom right hand of your screen and checking the date under "About Virus Scan Enterprise."  If the date is older than a few days you should right click on the icon again and choose "Update Now."

 

Go to http://old.www.iup.edu/tsc/mcafee/ for more information about IUP's version of McAfee Anti-Virus.
