              Installation 
             
            The SpyAgent installation process is very straightforward and
              designed to complete very quickly. 
            Preparing your Computer for the SpyAgent Installation    
              Before installing SpyAgent you may need to take some preparatory
                steps to get your computer ready for its installation. 
                 
                First, if you have any antivirus or antispyware
                software installed you should disable it temporarily. Any auto-protect
                or real-time scanning features should be turned off at this time.
                When you are done installing SpyAgent you will want to exclude
                SpyAgent's files from your antivirus's scanning - see the 'Configuring
                your Antivirus/Antispyware' section below.  
            Second, if you are on Windows Vista or Windows
              7 you will want to disable the UAC feature that Windows uses. The
              UAC feature can prevent keystroke logging from working properly,
              and/or saving settings changes within SpyAgent properly. For visual
              how-to's on disabling UAC, please use the following links:

              Vista UAC Disable | Windows 7 UAC Disable 
            Third, ensure you are installing under an account with Administrator
              access. In Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can right click on the
              SpyAgent installation file you downloaded and choose the 'Run as
              Administrator' command to ensure this if you are not sure if your
              user account is an administrator or not.  
            You can now proceed to installing SpyAgent.  
            
  
            Installing SpyAgent   
            To install SpyAgent simply run the installation software. SpyAgent
               is very easy to use, and very easy to setup.  
                
               Note: If you are using
             the Stealth Edition of SpyAgent you will not be prompted to configure
             anything, as the software will install invisibly and start monitoring
             instantly. You can change settings and access SpyAgent by following
             the instructions on your SpyAgent
             Stealth Instructions that you
             received.  
             
            Upon your first run of SpyAgent you are instructed to
          setup your password. If you have not done so already, please
          do so before continuing. You need to setup your password to allow
          for secure monitoring and configuration of SpyAgent. 
             
            Once your password is configured you now have two choices: manual 
            configuration using the options buttons on the right panel of the 
            SpyAgent interface - or the Easy Configuration Wizard.
            If you choose to use the Easy Configuration Wizard you will be 
              prompted to answer several basic questions - once you answer them 
              all SpyAgent will be setup properly with all the logging you need. 
              If you wish to fully configure and customize SpyAgent you will 
              need to utilize the options panels within SpyAgent's user interface 
              (located by clicking on the individual buttons on the right panel 
              of SpyAgent; ie: General, Logging, Remote Log Delivery), or by accessing 
              the OPTIONS menu from the bottom panel of SpyAgent's interface. 
               
              Once you have configured your options you will be set to go! For
              a graphical 'getting started' guide please refer to the Getting
            Started section of this documentation.   
             
            
  
            Configuring your Antivirus/Antispyware  
            Before re-enabling your antivirus or antispyware you will want to
              configure it to ignore SpyAgent's files now that it is installed.
              For instructions, as well as a complete list of SpyAgent's files,
              please visit our Antivirus
              Exclusions page on our website. Once the exclusions
              are made you can re-enable your antivirus. 
               
               
            
  
            Installation Paths 
             SpyAgent installs to the following locations by default. These
            folders will be hidden so you will need to enable hidden file viewing
            in Windows to see them.  
             
              Standard Installer: x:\program
            files\spytech software\spytech spyagent\
            Stealth Edition Installation Path: x:\program files\sysconfig\ 
            If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows the above install
              folders will be present in your x:\program files (x86)\ folder
              instead of the x:\program files\ folder. 
            By installing SpyAgent you agree to the standard legal disclaimer 
              and EULA specified HERE.
