How to Install ANDROID Adblock Plus From PC

ghinsey

Newbie
:confused: I downloaded Adblock Plus for android from there website.
What I got was a zip file, "adblockplusandroid-1.1.3.zip". When I unzip it, I get a bunch of files & Folders. When I run it, it opens in winrar.
Phone is a Samsung Galexy Stellar, not rooted.
I am at whits end. Can anyone help me get it installed.:)
 
Thanks for the replies. I am such a newbie. :o

After much Googling, I did figure it out last night, before I read the above posts.
As "out of ideas" suggested, I renamed the .zip file to .apk. This made it possible to install from the PC.
After all of my frustration, I took a break away from the PC. As I was on my break, I was fiddleing around with my phone. I taped the Google Speak Search button and said "AdBlock Plus for Android", and up pops the AdBlock site with the download button. I couldn't resist again, I pushed the button. It downloaded and the notification screen on my phone asked if I wanted to install it. I couldn't resist again, and it installed with no hitch.

I learned alot, and hopefuly I am one step up further from a newbe. :)
Now on to rooting. :thumbup:
