Before Installing Antivirus Software

Prepare your device before installing a security product. A few checks can help you avoid compatibility and activation problems.

Confirm compatibility

Read the product page and the vendor system requirements. Confirm the supported operating system, device count and subscription term match your needs.

Save your work

Close documents and save ongoing work before installation. Follow the installer instructions and be prepared to restart your device if requested.

Check existing security software

Consult the vendor guidance about existing antivirus products before adding another security product. Follow the official removal or migration instructions when required; do not disable protection without understanding the next steps.

Use a trusted installer

Download software from the official vendor or trusted link included with your order. Avoid download links from unsolicited messages.

Activate and check the result

Follow the supplied activation instructions, check the displayed subscription status and run the product update process. If you see an error, contact support with the order number and error text. Keep your license key private.
