Hello,
I cannot find this option. I get the choose language and then a screen that
says next or cancel. Also, I am not comparing apples and oranges. AVG has
their antivirus program as well as an anti spyware program that is a trial
version.
Also, do you mean the control panel add or remove programs option? I would
really be surprised to find spybot in the add or remove hardware option.
Take care,
John

Apologies, I think I know what you mean now. The actual option is called
"Full installation for Blind users" or something like that. Sorry about
that. On Fri, 25 May 2007 05:04:11 -0400, "Alan Clendinen"
