demo 21 Dec 2008 01:11pm You didn't download the right thing. php files are scripts which are interpreted by Apache. Apache is a service that runs on unix. In other words - what you have is useless. Get the product from the manufacturer directly: http://free.avg.com/ You seek a .exe file. |

demo 21 Dec 2008 01:20pm Yeah, you've downloaded the wrong thing. But to open php files in the future use a simple text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. |

demo 21 Dec 2008 01:29pm The AVG Anti Virus installer could not be a PHP file. The PHP file could be an additional file included in a folder, but what you need to install should be a .exe (executable) file, for the installer to run. You do not need to run PHP files for installing AVG Anti Virus. But if you ever want to open a PHP file, use a plain text processor, like Notepad. If you want the PHP code to run, you need a server like Apache, configured for running PHP files. |
