Downloading a Program

Many beginners (newbies) are sometimes confused about the download process.  A lot of web pages are filled with ads and links for programs besides the desired program.  For a person not used to downloading programs this can be intimidating.

The example on this page is for downloading a spyware remover, Malwarebytes. If you click on that link, you will get a page that looks like this without the red arrow.  The arrow shows where to go to start the download process.

Once you click the 'Download free version) you get a page like the following screenshot without the red arrow. Again the arrow shows where to start the download.
