Title: Mac user - please help!
Post by: specialk on October 28, 2003, 05:47:26 AM
Hello! This is probably going to be the easiest question ever for mac users - I just downloaded the homeowner's version of avast and when I go to open it (to install) I get this message:

 "There is no defauly application specified to open the document 'setupeng.exe.'"

If someone could please tell me which application to use that would be great! Thank you!

Hi Kelly,

I believe the issue may be that Avast does not support MAC.
On the download page for the home version, it says:

PLATFORMS
 
- Windows 95
- Windows 98
- Windows Me
- Windows NT 4
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP  
 
Cheers

Anyway, viruses are not of a big concern to Mac users (unless you use Macs as servers)... And there is the Virex tool, right? (or it's not freely available?)
