Downloading & Installing AVG anti-virus software.



Now that I have access to the internet I can install my anti-virus software. I need to open an internet browser page and type in the following address, http://free.grisoft.com/. This will take me to the software's homepage. I need then to click on the download tab on the webpage and follow the on screen instrcutions for the exact installation file I need, which is Windows XP professional edition. Now that I have found the file I need to download it which is simply done by clicking the download link, which should bring up an external box with the option to run, save or close the chosen application. I want to save the install to ensure I get all of the downloaded packets so I get a reliable, clean install, afterall this programme is going to ensure the security of my machine, so I need it to run as good as it possibly can, with all of its features available for use. I have chose my desktop as the directory to download the file too, once downloaded I used pre-installed windows file check, to make sure that the file is safe to use and install, after doing this I installed the file into my desired directory. Now that the software is installed, I need to make sure that the software is up to date, by using the update now option on the programme. This will then ask me if I want to update via the internet or by folder ( this would allow me to install from a disc or any other source, in case I do not have internet access at this particular time). I have chosen the internet option, the software will now download the latest updates and automatically install then. Now that my software is fully updated and fully functional, I am now protected from internet threats, as long as I scan my computer often ( this can be set up on a daily routine via the software settings.)
