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:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
Check these topics for additional requirements and support guidelines:
• Supported operating systems
• RAM requirements
• Requirements for email protection
• Requirements for the email server security application
Supported operating systems
Use this table to verify that client computers are running supported operating systems. This

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.

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.
