The steps, in order

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Copy MalnoxSetup.exe onto the target machine. It needs no internet: the runtime, engines and rules are inside.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Generate the activation file from the dashboard on a connected machine and import it locally. The file is valid for a single device.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Intel packages are HMAC-SHA256 signed, with atomic staging and rename. Path traversal is explicitly rejected.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Signature updates are carried as files and imported locally. There is no “it fetches signatures from the server when it can”.

Try it on a file you already have.
