Thread gone!!!

I posted a thread last week about how to download things such as security software I have onto my new netbook. 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

Use either;

An external CD/DVD drive or

An external hard drive (needs the data/software saved to it first of course)

A USB memory stick (needs the data/software saved to it first of course)

.

Thebiga,

Here is a quick recap of what was suggested:

[quote user="Cooperlola"]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. [/quote]

[quote user="f1steveuk "]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.[/quote]

[quote user="tj"]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!

[quote user="ANOther"]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 [;-)][/quote]
