I am trying to download an upgrade to Malwasher Pro and it keeps saying I don’t have a .netframework3.5sp1 file Is there anyway to download this file? It must be a file that is missing in Microsoft. I am running XP

I got this question from Beth who’s looking for an upgrade to the .Net Framework running on her computer. This .Net Framework is an application framework that Microsoft ship with later versions of Windows, but you can still download it for Windows XP. You can download this here

The .Net Framework is quite necessary to run any programs that have been built with Microsoft’s new languages; whether it prototype 37c or a large program, it’s a platform that lets developers build applications quicker in a more sustainable way.
