Using Data Igloo with Microsoft Security Essentials
When using an Antivirus or an Anti-Malware program, it is necessary to save the virus definitions
on the computer. When the computer is protected by Deep Freeze, the definitions may be lost
during a reboot. In addition to the virus definitions, it is necessary to save the configuration, scan
history and other data relevant to the user. Some Antivirus programs may not allow changing the
folders from C: drive due to their own self-protection mechanisms.
The solution is to create the folders first, redirect them using Data Igloo and then install the
Antivirus program.
The following example provides steps for redirecting the folder and registry keys for Microsoft
Security Essentials using Data Igloo:
1. Reboot workstation into Thawed state.
2. On the computer where MSE is not installed create following new folders, which will be used
by Microsoft Security Essentials:
On all Windows Operating Systems:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client
On XP systems:
C:\Documents & Settings\All users\Application data\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client
C:\Documents & Settings\All users\Application data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware
On Vista and Windows 7 systems:
C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client
C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware
3. Using Data Igloo folder redirection feature, redirect newly created folders to a Thawed
location. For this example, we are redirecting to E:
For this example, we are using Windows 7 and the following folders need to be redirected to E:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client
C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client
C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware
