There are two installers; a 32 bit version and a 64 bit. 32 bit [Windows XP/ Windows Vista]- Copy the 32 bit installation file to your desktop and double click to begin the installation. 64 bit [Windows Vista (64) / Windows 7 (64)] - Copy the 64 bit installation file to your desktop, right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator". Once the installation begins, continue to follow the instructions. During the installation you may be notified that McAfee is installed on your computer. At this point, be sure to allow Forefront to remove the software for you. Once finished, Forefront may ask to restart the computer.
To configure Forefront, open your Forefront control panel by double clicking on the Forefront icon (a green box with a white shield) in your system tray next to the clock. Next, select the settings tab; you should now see settings for the scheduled scan. Change your scan type to "full scan" and change the date and time to Wednesday at 12 PM.
