Anyway I had a few helpful answers and before I could do anything with them the thread has gone! No idea where but it isn't where I can see it anymore, So does anyone know how to download things onto my netbook as it has no disc drive so cannopt do it direct. Thankyou    Report

Thebiga, Here is a quick recap of what was suggested:  Cooperlola wrote: You have options.  Download direct from the 'net (something like AVG free) , buy and external hard drive or download from your PC via an easy transfer cable.   I'm sure there are other ways which the clever lot on here know.  Personally, I think an external DVD writer at around £40 is a good investment as then you can watch DVDs on your netbook if you wish.  f1steveuk wrote: You would get most of the required software on to a 2 gb flash drive (memory stick) they really quite cheap in France. Copy the set files for whatever programme from your old/other computer, or a friends, and then move them on to the note book.  tj wrote: Hi download the software again from here... http://download.cnet.com/Norton-360/3000-8022_4-10651162.html, enter your key number, and away you go!  ANOther wrote: If your concern is that you might get infected online in the time it takes you to download and install an antivirus programme then I think you can safely forget such worries Clair Real Virtual French Person    Report
