DOSBox
How do you download DOSBox. I know to go to programs and click on the DOSBox link.But then what.I tried clicking on the downloads link and then tried the win32 DOSBox download link.(BTW is sourceforge safe) but mcafee said it's got a medium annoyance( a yellow mark). IS THIS TRUE?!?! or have I downloaded it wrong?If I have, how do I, which is my main question: How do I download DOSBox?

thanks.But one more thing. Which one do you download to get DOSBox. IF it's the windows one that's the one where mcafee says it's yellow. if it is then is it alright and why would mcafee say that?

Cause MacAfee is a crud program.
 Click the Windows link, download Dosbox installer. More than likely MacAfee is marking it cause it is a .exe. |

Ok thanks but mcafee is not crud.
  ... what am I saying! Yes mcafee can be bad at times, but ,1. It's the only free antivirus thing I've got as a trial and 2.It saved my computer by quarentining a virus thing. |

Well there are plenty of free AV programs out there. I use Microsoft Secruity Essentials free and made by Microsoft, it has done a great job. Other people use AVG and there are plenty more. No need to pay for lousy Virus Protection.

yep. But looking at what it says:
"contains what some people would call adware,spyware or potential unwanted software" or something like that It makes me too scared to download it. Can I have one more reassurance from someone else so I have the courage to select"continue download" sorry, just scared. and let me get this strait. I go onto downloads, then I click the windows one, then it will download, correct? Last edited by person on extremes; 21-12-2010 at 10:06 AM. |

As far as I know, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials don't have any adware or anything. I use Avira Antivir. I prefer it over AVG. I haven't tried MSE yet.

No he is talking about Dosbox from its sourceforge host. Which is fine by the way. I got Dosbox from there just a night or so ago..no viruses or spam here. |
