The Installation Wizard

Installing the software is easy. The Installation Wizard guides you through the process. Depending on the speed of your computer, the installation may take some time. Before you begin, make sure that your computer is connected to the internet.

	If you have downloaded the product, double-click the product package icon to run the Installation Wizard.
	If you have a CD, when you insert the CD the installation should launch automatically. If not, browse to the root folder of the CD and double-click autorun.exe or is2006.exe.

Step 1: Select the Installation Language

Choose the language in which you prefer to install the product. Click Next to continue.

The installation wizard gathers the necessary information about your computer and begins unpacking the software files.

Step 2: Accept the License Terms

Review the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, tick the "I accept the agreement" check box. Click Next to continue.

If you do not agree to the license terms, click Cancel to stop the installation.

Step 3: Choose the Installation Directory

Choose the directory to which you want to install the software. We recommend you use the directory suggested by the Wizard. Click Next to continue.

The Wizard prepares the files for installation. This may take a few minutes.

You may be asked to restart your computer. Select Restart Now and click Finish to continue. If you select Restart Later, installation will not continue until the computer is restarted.

Step 4: Enter Your Subscription Number

The Installation Wizard will prompt you to enter your subscription number.

If you have bought the product online, your subscription number is sent to you by email. If you have a CD, your subscription number is printed on the back cover of the user manual.

Alternatively, you can choose to install the software for a 30-day evaluation period. You do not need to have a subscription number for the evaluation period.

Click Next to start the installation.

Depending on the speed of your computer, the installation may take some time.

If other antivirus or firewall software is detected on your computer at this stage, the Wizard will try to remove them since they can interfere with the function of F-Secure Internet Security 2006.

If the subscription number has been used for another installation, that installations will stop working and the license will be transferred to this installation.

Step 5: Reboot and Finalize

When the Installation Wizard has finished installing, you still need to finalize the installation by restarting your computer. Select Restart Now and then click OK. If you select Restart Later, installation will not be complete until the computer has rebooted.

The Start-up Wizard

When your computer has rebooted, you will see the Start-up Wizard. The Start-up Wizard will automatically connect to F-Secure servers to validate your subscription and check for new updates. The Start-up Wizard will then help you optimize your F-Secure Internet Security 2006 settings through a series of quick steps.
