  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software.

• I can't install the drivers in Windows 8

  I installed Windows 8 Developer preview but I can't install the drivers, even in compatibility mode. They were fully compatible with Windows 7. It's really disturbing, because I can not connect to the Internet and to develop applications.

  Windows Developer Preview: OS General Questions:

  http://social.msdn.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/windowsdeveloperpreviewgeneral/threads

  From the download page:

  The Developer Preview of Windows is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers. These downloads include beta software that may change without notice. The software is provided as is, and bear you the risk of using it. It may not be stable, work properly or work the way that the final version of the software will be. It should not be used in a production environment.

  Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until the manufacturer releases Windows 8 drivers (if they make it to your model).

  If the compatibility mode option does not work, some drivers may be available by using Windows Update.

  Troubleshoot Compatibility
  This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
  (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
  (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
  (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8.

• Why I can't install the update on Mac 10.5.8? When I did, I lost if all!

  I installed the update and your logo is x'd out. I could no longer online and I was really dead. Fortunately, I found an old version, I installed the new one and that's how I run now. How can I update to make sure that I have cable?

  It seems that your Mac has a chip "PPC" (not the one made by Intel). Unfortunately, Firefox 3.6 is the latest version to support. We will always support 3.6 for a short period (3.6.25 just came out yesterday), but you might want to try TenFourFox which is another browser based on Firefox (but made by others) for Mac PPC.
