Software Download

TopWhen downloading, I get a page says something about "Offsite linking".
You are either using a firewall program that blocks the referreror you are downloading by Right Click + Save As... Simply left click on the link, and close firewalls that block the referer.
TopWhat is incomplete download and how to solve?
Usually this is caused by a network congestion. You should try again at non-peak hours, or use a download manager to avoid redownloading the whole file. Here is a list of download managers you can choose from. Alternatively, this may be caused by a temporary connectivity problem between your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the website hosting the file. Try again later.
TopHow to do with the download file?
If the file you download has an .exe extension, then just double-click it to launch the installation process. Otherwise, in most of the cases it is a .zip file. You will have to uncompress the archive to access the installation program. To do so, you need to have installed an archiver unless you are using Windows2000 or WindowsXP which have builtin .zip support.
TopI receive errors saying that the zip file is corrupted. What should I do?
Most likely, in the download process, an error has occured, and that lead to the corruption of the file. The solution is to re-download the file, and if you are not yet using a download manager, it is high time to do so. Here is a list of download managers you can choose from.

TopSpyware:
Spyware is a type of malware that can be installed on computers, and which collects small pieces of information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer.
