To be able to scan your devices (currently limited to Windows based computer systems)
for malware you need to install our Segira client (software) on each of them. It is
this client that will access your device's resources, such as hard drives, SD cards,
thumb or flash drives, CD ROMs and others and send just enough information about the
found files to our server (the cloud) that we can classify them for you.
Installing Segira on your device requires 3 main steps if you do it the first time and
may require only 1 step for all subsequent installations:
1) Build your personalized installer.
2) Download the installer.
3) Run the installer.
Build
Segira will build a personalized installer for you so you never have to deal with hassles
like key codes, product registration or the like. To get this process started you must first:
A) Create an account.
B) Log in.
C) Navigate to My Devices.
On the My Devices page you will see an installer panel (as seen below) at the bottom
of the list of your devices. If you haven't installed the client software on any devices,
this installer panel will be the only thing on your page:
Installer download
Want to protect another device of yours (currently limited to your Windows based PCs and laptops)?
Just download Segira Anti-Malware from here and run the installer on your device. Once the product
has been installed the device will automatically show up in the list above and you can manage it from
there, provided your firewall doesn't block the software from communicating with the Segira cloud.
Initiate a build and the download of your personalized installer. We will make sure you
get the latest malware scanner we have to offer. If you already have a version installed,
there is no need to download a newer one as the installed product will update itself
automatically.
Once you click the Build & download button it will turn grey or become disabled
while Segira creates a personalized installer for you which will include the latest client
software we have to offer. Building this installer will only take a few seconds. In case
we anticipate a longer wait time due to high server demand, the text to the right of
the button will let you know and count down the seconds. Most of the time your installer
will be ready within about 10 seconds. In rare situations it may take a minute or longer. Download
When ready your browser should initiate the download of your personal installer automatically
(alternatively there will be a link to download it manually). Depending on your browser and
its settings the next couple of steps may vary slightly. We have listed the instructions for
the detected Safari browser. If we got it wrong or you would like instructions for a
different browser, click on the corresponding link here:
Chrome,
IE,
Edge,
Safari,
Firefox.
Your Safari browser will present you with a dialog box/window similar to the one seen
here.
Run
Click on Run to download and execute the installer.
Windows 8 and up may use their SmartScreen
technology to perform a reputation check on the downloaded file. Sometimes their
server cannot be reached (see image) or SmartScreen decides to pop up a message
box for other reasons, asking if it was okay to run this app. Click Run anyway.
If you don't get this or a similar message, just move on with the next step.
At this point Windows will most likely pop up a UAC (User Account Control) dialog,
asking you if it is okay for this program to make changes to your computer. Segira's
changes to your computer are limited to the installation of the program.
Click Yes.
The following few steps only apply to some Windows 7 systems! If you are greeted with a
Welcome to the Prerequisites Wizard, continue with the next step, otherwise skip
down to

installation
.
On some Windows 7 systems you may be welcomed to the prerequisites wizard at this
point. Segira requires the Microsoft .NET 4.5 framework to be present on your system.
All Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 versions come with this or compatible framework pre-installed.
If it is still missing on your system, our installer is happy to download and install it
for you. Simply continue following the outlined steps here. Click Next.
Click Next.
The installation of the .NET framework will be prepared. After a few seconds
you should see this license term window. Read the terms. Check the
I have
read and accept the license terms
box. Then click Install.
Installation of the .NET framework will likely take a few minutes...
When the installation completes, click Finish.
Click Finish again if the
Automatically start installing the main
application after finishing the prerequisites install
box wasn't checked.
Otherwise continue with the next step.
Post prerequisites installation.
Click Next on the welcome screen.
Check the I accept the terms in the License Agreement box after reading it.
Then click Next.
At this point Segira Anti-Malware is ready to be installed. Click
Install to proceed.
Wait for the installation to complete. This may take a few seconds.
Congratulations. Segira Anti-Malware is now installed on your system. Click
Finish to exit the installer.
At the same time, possibly before you click the Finish button, the
installer will open a Readme page in your default browser. It will
briefly explain what to do next and how to interact with Segira Anti-Malware
as outlined below.
Firewall
If you have a 3rd party firewall product on your device it may ask if you want to allow
DeviceSvc.exe to connect to the internet. If so, choose to always allow this since the
Segira client needs to be able to talk to the cloud in order to protect your system.
Now what?
Now that you have Segira installed on your device, the software should be communicating
with the Segira cloud and should automatically initiate a scan of your system. If you
left your My Devices
page open in your web browser or whether you navigate there now, you should be seeing
your new device and it should indicate that it is being scanned. For more help on the
My Devices page, please click here.
Tray icon
Accessing Segira Anti-Malware is quick and easy. There is a new icon in your system
tray or notification area (likely visible in the lower right corner of your screen).
You may have to expand your area with the up or left arrow to see the icon. It will
always have Segira's signature logo
in the center but may have different background colors or display additional features
to quickly indicate the status of your system. For more help on the tray icon, please
