Title: Moving .exe files to external hard drive
Post by: 02bin3 on June 06, 2009, 11:48:26 AM

      I am contemplating reinstalling Windows XP Pro and wondering if I can move programs like Zonealarm,
SuperAntispy, Malwarebytes, Spywareblaster, Revo Uninstaller, WordWeb, JAVA, Adobe Reader 9, etc. to my external hard drive and then move them back to the computer hard drive after reinstalling Windows XP?  The reason I ask is that the version of Hughesnet that I have only allows 200 MB daily for downloads and downloading all those programs would eat up 200 MB pretty quick.
     I was also wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with Spyzooka?  Tucows gave it a 5 Cow rating and the reviews I've read have been positive.  Thanks

You can't. Programs have to be reinstalled.
Forget about Spyzooka. With Super, and 'Bytes, you're percfectly fine.
