Use the following steps to manually install the Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client firewall driver (teefer2.sys). This process is not necessary during a normal SEP client installation or upgrade.
Windows driver files are installed using a driver install file (.inf). To install the SEP client firewall driver, locate the teefer.sys driver file and its corresponding install file, teefer.inf.
Use the following table to locate the teefer.sys and teefer.inf files on a computer where the SEP client is already installed:
Windows Version | Bit-depth | Location |
Windows 8+/Windows Server 2012+ | 64-bit | C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<version>\TeeferWin8 |
Windows 8+/Windows Server 2012+ | 32-bit | C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<version>\TeeferWin8 |
Windows 7 | 64-bit | C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<version>\Bin64\TeeferVista |
Windows 7+/Server 2008 R2+ | 32-bit | C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<version>\Bin\TeeferVista |
On computers where the SEP client is not already installed, teefer.sys and teefer.inf are located in the following locations in the SEP client installer files:
Windows Version | Bit-depth | Location |
Windows 8+/Windows Server 2012+ | 64-bit | Program Files\Symantec\Name\Version\Bin64\TeeferWin8 |
Windows 8+/Windows Server 2012+ | 32-bit | Program Files\Symantec\Name\Version\Bin\TeeferWin8 |
Windows 7 | 64-bit | Program Files\Symantec\Name\Version\Bin64\TeeferVista |
Windows 7+/Server 2008 R2+ | 32-bit | Program Files\Symantec\Name\Version\Bin\TeeferVista |
