How do I access, to install an exe. file from the cd/dvd drive on Windows 7?
I'm familiar with this function on Windows XP Pro, but Windows 7 is way different.
I'm trying to install AVAST antivirus on a relative's Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I downloaded the avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe file to a CD. When loading
the CD on the drive, Windows 7 launches AutoPlay program, it recognizes the CD
with the given name "AVAST 2012". When I click, it doesn't show the antivirus
file name. Any suggestions? Thanks. PC
 
i scanned thru the manual. i don't have a tool bar or access any of the addl features mentioned.
i must have a limited user version, or didn't download the full program.
i may have to uninstall or reload avast.
i want to send you a screen capture from this mac. How can I do that?
i tried outlining, then control/c control/v, but that doesn't work.




 
scout, i'd like to ask you instructions on import/post images & using revounistaller, via home email; it'll be easier.
my avast menu doesn't have the features shown in the manual. i may have to uninstall/reinstall.
pls email me at: phil.crawford1@gmail.com
 
i've included the http link for the free mac avast download, from their home page.
pls look at the 4 center images, click & they enlarge.
these are the images & limited functions that i have. pls advise.
i want the additional features you mentioned, but they're not included w. this download
 
pls send the mac revo unistaller version link. your earlier revo uninstaller link was windows version. i've searched on google & filehippo.
the only mac link found was fyxm. it said mac version, but when clicked on, a notice shows that its a windows version. pls send mac link tonight. i want to remove limited avast version & install the saved sophos instead. thx Phil
