Using the MER tool during troubleshooting
The Minimum Escalation Requirements (MER) tool collects McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, and other McAfee product, data from your computer. Using this data allows McAfee Technical Support to analyze and resolve your problem.
The WebMER tool can be downloaded using any of these file formats:
- EXE
- ZIP
- ProtectedZip
The information collected by the WebMER tool includes:
- Registry details
- File version details
- Files
- Event logs
- Process details
To use the WebMER tool, you must:
- View the Obtaining Minimum Escalation Requirements using McAfee WebMER tutorial found at: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=TU30146.

Note: An ePolicy Orchestrator deployable version is also available.
