I am in the process of migrating our existing Symantec Antivirus solution from 9.0 to 10.1.6.6000 and am having trouble upgrading the clients using the ClientRemoteInstall tool, launched from inside the Symantec System Center Console. I am having this issue on ALL of our clients when I try to remote install the Anti Virus software update.<br />
<br />
The software is being copied correctly to the user's c:\windows\temp directory, but fails to launch the antivirus software. The error I am receiving from the Symantec System Center Console after I try to deploy the new software to the client is:<br />
<br />
Failed to install the remote installation service. Application installation files may have been successfully copied but the setup program was not started.<br />
<br />
The workstations I am attempting to install the software update onto are all up to date as far as service pack levels are concerned..etc....<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
