How the McAfee VirusScan Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the McAfee VirusScan plug-in to scan the computer for the McAfee VirusScan service at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

  1. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "McShield" (ServicePath)
  2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type DCM: 
    ServicePath

    This is the default action as defined in the response file.

Note: The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before CA Access Control installation, after CA Access Control installation, and so on).
