problem downloading Avast home
« on: November 19, 2008, 11:50:45 PM »
Really dumb question I know but I'm having problems with the download. Should I run or save the file & where will it get saved to? I thought that the icon would appear on my desktop after I downloaded? If it has downloaded correctly, where would I find it? Thanks.

You should never download and run in one action for any program IMHO.

Select save as or Save file as and choose a location on your HDD that you can find it again, once downloaded go off line and install off-line.

As far a where it gets saved to that is down to you and your settings many people download to the desktop others to my documents, avast doesn't have a specific download location that is up to you and the system settings.

Do a search in windows explorer for setupeng.exe the Englich version of avast.
