Procedure

1. Double-click SL_Install.exe.
   If a User Account Control warning from Windows appears, click Yes.
   
   
2. When the installation wizard opens, click Next.

   Note If there is another version of Safe Lock on the endpoint, the installer will remove it before installing the latest version.

3. Read the license agreement, select I accept the terms in the License Agreement, and click Next.
   
4. Make any necessary changes to the installation options, and click Next.

   Important Network Virus Protection can only be installed during the initial program installation, but it can be disabled after installation, if necessary. See Exploit Prevention Settings in the Administrator's Guide for more information.

   
5. Provide the Activation Code and specify an administrator password for Trend Micro Safe Lock.

   Note The password must be 8 to 64 alphanumeric characters. The following characters are not supported: | > < \ " spaces. The Safe Lock administrator password is unrelated to the Windows administrator password.

   

   WARNING Do not forget the Safe Lock administrator password. The only way to recover after losing the Safe Lock administrator password is by reinstalling the operating system.

6. Click Next.
   A message appears asking if you would like to scan the endpoint for threats before continuing with the installation.

   
7. (Optional) Scan the endpoint for threats before continuing with the installation. Trend Micro recommends you perform this scan.
   • To scan the endpoint for threats, click Scan.
     1. The Endpoint Prescan window appears.
     2. To customize the scan settings, click Edit Scan Settings.
     3. Click Scan Now.
        If Endpoint Prescan detects security risks, Trend Micro recommends canceling the installation. Remove threats from the endpoint and try again. If critical programs are detected as threats, confirm that the endpoint is secure and that the versions of the programs installed do not contain threats. Ignore detected threats only if you are absolutely certain that they are false positives.

        Note You cannot stop a scan process when you set the PRESCANCLEANUP and FORCE_PRESCAN options in the Setup.ini file. For more information, see Prescan Section.

        Tip Perform a manual scan to detect and remove threats on endpoints. For more information, see Manual Scan Commands in the Administrator's Guide.

   • To skip scanning, click Do Not Scan.

     Note The Do Not Scan and close buttons are not applicable when you set the PRESCANCLEANUP and FORCE_PRESCAN options in the Setup.ini file. For more information, see Prescan Section.

8. When the Installation Complete window displays, click Finish.
   

   Note Optionally enable memory randomization on older operating systems such as Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, which may lack or offer limited Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) support. See Exploit Prevention Settings in the Administrator's Guide for more information.
