Installing BlackICE PC Protection

Introduction

You can install BlackICE PC Protection from the BlackICE PC Protection CD or you can install it after you download the product from the Web.

Prerequisites

Before you install BlackICE PC Protection you must do the following:

• Scan your computer for viruses. Because BlackICE creates a baseline record of your system during the installation, you should ensure that the baseline record does not include viruses.
• Disable the real-time scanning function of any antivirus detection software running on your computer to avoid unwanted interactions during the installation. You can enable this antivirus function after the installation is completed.
• Know your license key number.
