Installation and Upgrade Instructions

Please read this entire section, including notes, before beginning.

To install Kaspersky for Marshal, run the installer package.

Note: During installation, Kaspersky for Marshal restarts the SEG, ECM, and/or WebMarshal services in order to update files and settings. Schedule installation accordingly.

Immediately after installation, the Kaspersky for Marshal updater attempts to retrieve the latest virus scanning Engine and signature files. If you need to configure proxy settings, you should do so immediately and then start an update manually.

To configure settings and start an update, start "Kaspersky for Marshal Configuration" from the Start menu. (Installation creates shortcuts in the submenu for each installed content scanning product that supports Kaspersky for Marshal). For details of the fields in the configuration tool, see Help.

Note: The updater requires access to the following websites:

http://kaspersky.marshal.com

https://kaspersky.marshal.com

To use Kaspersky for Marshal with a supported content scanning product:

Obtain and install the appropriate Product Key for SEG, ECM, or WebMarshal. To update the signatures you must use a product key that includes maintenance for Kaspersky for Marshal (or a valid trial key).
Ensure the installed version of SEG, ECM, or WebMarshal is a supported version.
Configure the updater and ensure that the initial download of signatures is complete.
- Note: The initial download retrieves a complete set of signatures. This process can take 15 minutes or longer. The scanner cannot process content until the signatures are available. Content could be blocked if the scanner is installed to the content scanning product before download is complete.
Follow the instructions for adding a scanner in the documentation for the specific product.
- Note: When installed with ECM, Kaspersky for Marshal does not display in the list of available scanners until the license is entered and the initial download is complete.
If you perform virus scanning on the server using another anti-virus product, exclude the Kaspersky for Marshal Engine folder from scanning. By default this folder is located as follows:
- 64 bit installation: C:\Program Files\Trustwave\Kaspersky for Marshal\engine
- 32 bit installation : C:\Program Files (x86)\Trustwave\Kaspersky for Marshal\engine

Notes on Upgrading

Note: The information in this document is current as of the date of publication. To check for any later information, please see Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q20712.

When upgrading Kaspersky for Marshal, stop the SEG, ECM, or WebMarshal engine. The upgrade requires a download of data in a new format. While this data is being downloaded, Kaspersky for Marshal is not available to perform scanning.
On upgrade, the update frequency is set to Hourly. You can use the configuration tool to set more frequent checks.

Uninstalling

To uninstall Kaspersky for Marshal:

Remove the Kaspersky for Marshal scanner from all scanning rules.
