Re: Avg says .bin missing when updating

Folder is the MS way of saying directory. I would rather say directory as calling it a folder confuses most people it seems to me.

Really? Well, I'm not a geek, but I've never heard them called directories before; well I've heard of directories but didn't think they were one and the same with folders. When you go to make a new one, it doesn't say new "directory", says new "folder". Don't most people use a windows operating system?

Directories were used for many, many years before MS came along with Win95 or 98 and MS decided to call them folders. I went to college in '93 and in the basic computing classes they were still called directories.

Now that I think about it, you are right! I'm pushing 60 and I suffer from CRS - 'can't remember shit'!!! Talk about things that drive you nuts!
