Before You Begin
Harmonic recommends that the desktop computer on which you install the Harmonic MediaGrid
file system driver be protected by anti-virus software to guard against potential viruses. In
addition, Harmonic recommends the use of Windows Update to install security patches available
from Microsoft. Windows Update should be used to install critical updates only. Customers in
larger IT installations may wish to make the desktop computer(s) a member of their Windows
Domain to simplify installation of anti-virus updates and/or critical updates from Microsoft.
Harmonic recommends that you first install anti-virus software from a CD prior to installing the
Harmonic MediaGrid file system driver.
