3. Installation and system requirements
Before you install the product, we recommend that you review the sections in this topic to ensure that your network, hardware, software, and other system components meet the requirements for F-Secure Client Security 9.30 Beta.
3.1 Installation keycode
This Beta build comes with the evaluation key that allows you to install and use all features of the product for 180 days. If you have a valid F-Secure license certificate and installation keycode for the previous version of F-Secure Client Security, you can enter it during local or remote installation.
Note: If you install the product with the evaluation key on top of a previous version that was installed with the full license key, the installation will fail.
3.2 Stand-alone or centrally managed installations
If you plan to install the product as a standalone installation, then you should run the setup program (fscs-9.30-345-beta.exe) on your computers locally. Note that installation requires that you have local administrator rights.
Note: In this Beta, the new Device Control feature can be managed only from Policy Manager Console.
For centrally managed installations, you should import the installation JAR package (fscs-9.30-345-beta.jar) to Policy Manager Console and deploy the product remotely to selected hosts. With Policy Manager Console you can also export an MSI package that you can deploy via other central management systems.

5. Known issues
5.1 Installation, upgrade and uninstallation
“Force restart without asking the user to save open documents” checkbox in “Select restart options” window of Installation Wizard in Policy Manager Consol doesn’t work as expected on Vista and Windows 7 (CTS 81750)
Even if the checkbox is not checked, the system will restart irrespective of open, unsaved documents. User changes in such documents can be lost. To avoid this data loss, you can select the “Ask the user before restarting”.
Policies are not received immediately after reboot
In some cases, the installed client may not receive policies immediately after the reboot. The client will usually recover automatically after some time, and receive the new policy. If not, a reboot should help.
Unused databases are still visible after upgrade
When upgrading, some databases and engines used by the previous version might not be needed anymore. These are still visible in “Settings – Other settings – Downloads”, marked as “Not Installed”. This is normal, and after 7 days they will be automatically removed.
System might be slow for several minutes after the first reboot while the installation finishes
The system may start up slowly following the initial reboot after installation. This is because the installation is being finalized in the background by downloading and installing various updates, etc.
The effect is more visible after a fresh installation, where more updates need to be downloaded. If opened, the local UI will notify you of this with a blue status indicator and a “Completing Installation” status text.
Subsequent reboots are not affected.
NAP Health Validator is not removed from configured health policies during uninstallation
During uninstallation, references to F-Secure System Health Validator (SHV) are not automatically removed from health policies. Computers that have those policies in use are considered non-compliant with health policies and are quarantined. To correct broken references to F-Secure SHV, open the health policies properties from Network Policy Server console (nps.msc) and confirm the automatic update.
5.2 DeepGuard
DeepGuard does not protect services in Windows 7 (CTS-65247)
When stopping a protected service from the command line or from the Services applet, DeepGuard fails to prompt about it. However, it still protects services from most malicious stop attempts. This problem only exists in the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
5.3 Browsing Protection
Disabling Browser Protection requires closing open browsers to take effect
If there are open browsers and the Browsing Protection feature is disabled, the change will only affect the open browser once it has been closed and restarted.
Browsing Protection toolbar may be not be visible in Internet Explorer 7
When launching Internet Explorer 7 after a fresh installation, the Browsing Protection toolbar may not be visible on some computers. Even without the toolbar, Browsing Protection is still working. Closing and restarting Internet Explorer 7 will resolve this issue.
5.4 Anti-Virus
Incorrect engine versions are shown in policy statistics
Incorrect engine versions are shown in the Status tab of Policy Manager Console (F-Secure Anti-Virus > Plug-ins table) after a clean installation. This affects scanning reports. The problem can be fixed by restarting the FSGKHS service.
5.5 Dial-up control
“Disallow user changes” doesn’t work for the dial-up control table
It’s possible to modify the dial-up control table from Client Security’s local GUI even when it has the “disallow user changes” restriction set from Policy Manager.
