How to Install Quick Heal Antivirus

by Gabriele Sturmer

Quick Heal Antivirus works with Windows 2000 and later and offers protection from viruses and spyware. It features a technology called DNAScan that helps protect your computer from new and unknown viruses. In addition, it monitors your emails, instant messages, program files and data on USB hard drives and features a built-in firewall to protect your network. Quick Heal comes in both electronic download and physical CD versions that you can purchase from its website.

1 Insert the Quick Heal Antivirus CD. Click "Start" and "Computer" if the CD does not load the install wizard automatically. Double-click your CD drive and double-click "Autorun.exe" to manually start the installation wizard. If you purchased the electronic version instead of the CD, double-click the downloaded installation file to begin.

2 Click "Install Quick Heal Antivirus Pro" on the wizard to start installing the program and to run a preinstall virus scan. If the preinstall scan finds any viruses, it configures its boot time scanner to clean your computer at the next restart. Restart the installation wizard after your computer reboots to continue with the installation if the boot time scanner has to run.

3 Select the check boxes next to "Submit suspicious files" and "Submit statistics" if desired and select the check box next to "I Agree" to accept the licensing agreement. Accept the default location to store your program files or click "Browse" to manually select a new installation folder. Click "Next" to install the program.

4 Click "Register Now" to activate your software when the installation completes, or select "Register Later" to activate later. Enter your product key and click "Next" on the registration screen. Click "Next" through each step of the wizard and enter the requested personal information. Click "Finish" when the activation completes.
