I managed to stumble upon your humble spot on the internet here, and I must say, it has really helped me a lot. I have a quick question that hopefully, someone can provide an answer for me.
I work for a company that in the near future, is going to be purchasing a considerable number of Notebooks (say 20-30ish). The men upstairs have mandated that these machines will need to have anti-virus and anti-spyware software. I will be given a copy of Norton Internet Security 2006 and Webroot Spysweeper for each machine.
Seeing as how im lazy, and would rather not run around to every PC, I was thinking how incredibly nice it would be if I could dump the contents of each of those programs onto a DVD (or I suppose a CD if it would fit). Then, upon inserting it into the various PCs, it would start an autorun task that would do the following:
-Prompt me for all the information both programs would need, such as registration information and product keys.
-Automatically uninstall the trial version of McAfee anti-virus that comes preloaded with the PC
-Install both programs silently.
-Automatically run LiveUpdate and whatever Spysweeper uses to update to obtain the latest virus/spyware definitions.
Is such a near-fully automated process such as this possible? I'm not picky in the least on how it accomplishes the task, but I would of course like as little user intervention as possible.
Your website is fantastic - thank you all very much!
