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
