S.O.S. Security Suite - Help Index
Download and install
S.O.S. Security Suite can be downloaded from the application's main page or directly from this link. Please note that most Internet browsers usually download files directly to your Downloads folder, so after downloading, just go there to find the file and move it to wherever you need it, or install S.O.S. Security Suite from there.
The first time you run the application, you will see a dialog box asking you whether you want to install S.O.S. Security Suite, or just use it as a portable application. Choose the desired option by clicking on it.
Choose Portable application if you plan to run S.O.S's threat scanner and system optimization from a portable storage device such as a USB stick exernal SSD.
Choose Installed application if you plan to use all or most S.O.S. Security Suite features, including the scheduled scan and scheduled optimization.
Usually you will only see this option once. If you want to force this dialog box to show when in portable application mode you can delete the S.O.S folder in the same directory as the S.O.S executabe.
