Installing RealSecure Desktop Protector
Introduction This topic gives instructions for installing Desktop Protector.
Local or remote
installation
You can install RealSecure Desktop Protector locally at your agent computer or remotely
from RealSecure ICEcap Manager. In most cases, you should distribute Desktop Protector
to network systems from ICEcap Manager. This allows centralized control of
configuration. However, in some cases it may be quicker to install an agent manually.
For information about installing remotely with RealSecure ICEcap Manager, see the
RealSecure ICEcap Manager User Guide.
Manual ICEcap
configuration
When Desktop Protector is installed directly on an agent computer, you must manually
configure the ICEcap settings. When Desktop Protector reports to ICEcap Manager, any
configuration and protection settings attributed to the agent’s account and group are
distributed to the agent.
Note: Manual installations of RealSecure Desktop Protector always include the local user
interface. Only ICEcap Manager can create and distribute agents without the local user
interface, known as “silent” agents. For information about installing silent agents, see the
RealSecure ICEcap Manager User Guide.
Prerequisites Before you install RealSecure Desktop Protector, you must do the following:
●Scan your system for viruses.
●Disable the real-time scanning function of any anti-virus detection software on your
system to avoid unwanted interactions during the installation.
