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 ControlMinder 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 ControlMinder installation, after CA ControlMinder installation, and so on).
