Installing Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus software on a
local computer
Note which type of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus software distribution you have,
then follow the corresponding steps to prepare your files for installation.
• If you downloaded your copy of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus software from
the Network Associates website, from a server on your local network, or
from another electronic service, make a new, temporary folder on your
hard disk, then use WinZip, PKZIP, or a similar utility to extract the Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus installation files to that temporary folder. You can
download the necessary utilities from most online services.
• If your copy of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus software came on a CD-ROM,
insert that disc into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
