Downloaded programs
 

Don't know a lot(obviously) so please help me.

After I have downloaded programs ( i.e games/spy sweeper etc) how would I be able to open them. What specific program do I need?

Most such files are zipped or rar. So you'd need winzip, winrar or stuffit expander to uncompress them. Then run the exe installer. But do a virus scan before you touch them ... even before uncompressing them.

Thanks for your help. Sorry about that.


I was jsut wondering whether there are any free programs that I can use to open then?

I now stuffit expander is free. The expander is free but the stuffit part is shareware i think.

I really am sorry for troubling you and thank you for your help.


...There's just one thing, I downloaded winzip but I am not sure what I have to do :)

Once again, sorry for the inconvinience

I don't use winzip. I do have winrar. Open Winzip & direct it to your files to uncompress. Press the File>Open & direct it where your files are.
