That's a DOS command ("change directory"). You see we should have been 
in DOS, not Windows when we were doing this. I wonder, does that mean 
AVG is not usable in safe mode on those XPs etc. with NTFS?!

By the way, all the lines in the AVG directions are missing the command 
Enter because geeks think that's as obvious as the missing/nonexistent 
verb "to be" in some languages (which is eloquently demonstrated when 
these poor people haven't yet learned the basics of a European language, 
e.g., English): I almost geek. You geek yet? This the PChelper group. 
This funny? Sorry if you think it not. -- Very economical and completely 
incomprehensible at times...

If you've never been in DOS and entered mystical commands instead of 
clicking on buttons in a graphical user interface (invented by Apple), 
this may blow your mind or make you very happy:

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
