Meeting system requirements

2

The decision to combine the white lists of the port blocking rules that have only had their white list modified is based on the assumption that the user has specific software that they do not want blocked by the default port blocking rule.

„Detection definition (DAT) file version, if the previous version is later than the version in the installation package.

„Scanning engine version, if the previous version is later than the version in the installation package.

„Log file names and locations are preserved.

Although the name and location are preserved, the log file format is changed from ANSI to UTF8. When the format is changed, the log file is renamed to *.BAK.

The registry keys containing installation file locations and product versions are not preserved.

If you do not want to preserve settings, you can deselect the option during installation or remove the previous version of the software before installing the current version.
