    Popup on Chrome says virus??

    I just completed an Avast boot-time scan, and a few files were "moved to chest". Thank you so much for helping fil1p and Drakeblade!! I've learned how to properly handle this in the future and feel much safer about the situation with the bluescreen and popup earlier. I appreciate it very much...

    Popup on Chrome says virus??

    Thank you very much. I assume it is only that website, as I don't see it on other webpages. I ran a system scan that came up with nothing. Am I correct in thinking that since it is a pop-up, the only harm it can do is annoy me?

    Popup on Chrome says virus??

    After Effects worth it??

    Thank you!! If I choose to buy AE, where is the best way to buy it? I'd want to install it on more than one computer since I may get a new one in a few years, and I would like to tap into Photoshop as well- maybe a bundle pack? Is the Adobe website the best place to buy it, or should I look to...

    After Effects worth it??

    Thank you!! I use special fx occasionally- however I use 3D title text intros, etc. and other 'flashy/fancy' templates or generators often. Is AE good for that? Thanks again!

    After Effects worth it??

    Hi guys! I'm a big video editor, and I'm looking to expand my knowledge a lot and make a job out of it. I have done professional video editing work before, and have found some things I don't quite understand yet, and would love to learn. I'm currently using Sony Vegas Pro 12. It works great...

    Laptop Won't Boot

    Hi everyone! My cousin recently had his computer break down, and asked if I could fix it. When the laptop starts, it posts and everything and you see the standard "Starting Windows..." thing (Win 7), and then it starts making this awful sound, and does not boot. The sound is not internal, it is...
