Okay, guys, here is the first half with the images added. I'm starting on the user guide next. How does it look so far???

How to download and install Ad-Aware 2007 Free

Ad-Aware 2007 Free

Ad-Aware 2007 Free is an anti-spyware program that is available free for downloading from Lavasoft®. It is intended for personal home use only.

Oooooh, thanks for all the good info!!! And thanks, TA, I wasn't sure if that was too much to ask for. I just know that sometimes references like that are made in manuals, and some of us go "huh?" (like me

)

We are the TEAM Moki...

We are not called the A Team for nothing!

**Moki** · 04-21-2008, 03:10 PM

I'm learning that, Donald

JohnthePilot · 04-23-2008, 04:02 AM

Well done Moki. It's looking good.

**Go The Power** · 04-23-2008, 04:16 AM

Its looks very good Moki well done.

I have one comment, the title Ad-Aware 2007 Installation & User Guide, shouldnt it just be Ad-Aware 2007 Installation guide? because the article covers installing the program, not using it.

But that might just me reading it wrong

JohnthePilot · 04-23-2008, 05:12 AM

Have a look at the very first line of the article.

**Go The Power** · 04-25-2008, 12:42 AM

Erm... I didnt read the first line I started reading after How to download and install Ad-Aware 2007 Free

Just ignore me Moki

**DonaldG** · 04-25-2008, 03:03 AM

A very minor point but I feel thet the article title needs a slight modification...

For a first time reader it may appear that we are writing an article showing how to get Ad-Aware 2007 for free.

Perhaps it should be something like:

How to download and install "Ad-Aware 2007 Free"

**Moki** · 04-25-2008, 11:20 AM

You're right, it does look like that :)
