Re: I need a good boffin.
So, anyways, after you remove the infected files there's still a warning that your computer is infected?

c:users...VBS/Generic.....Infected
Then I moved the infections to virus vault. Is this action enough? Doing a scan at the moment too.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Yeah, that should do it. If a scan turns up any more infected files, just do the same thing (move to vault).Heston wrote:File-------Infection---------ResultFlex wrote:So, anyways, after you remove the infected files there's still a warning that your computer is infected?

Re: I need a good boffin.
On the recommendation of my nephew, I bought an AppleTV. Damn neat, damn cool. The only downside is having to convert avi's to m4v's, but it lets me watch downloaded tv shows on our tv without first burning to dvd. (Better quality, too.) I can also play music thru the home theatre system a lot more easily than before, too.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Anybody here super competent with Photoshop? A historian friend of mine has a couple documents—rather, pictures of documents—where the text is blurry, and asked whether I could clean it up, CSI-style. I've played around with the Sharpen feature but can only make the text darker, not less blurry. If anyone here can give it a whirl, PM me, s'il vous plait.

Re: I need a good boffin.
I am not an expert, but did you use the Sharpen or Unsharpen feature? I have used the Unsharpen in the past for images but not text:Dr. Medulla wrote:Anybody here super competent with Photoshop?

Re: I need a good boffin.
One of the tutorials I found online cited using the unsharp mask technique, but I couldn't improve the readability. Either I'm a dolt or the text is too blurry to fix. I'm pretty sure it's the former because the text doesn't seem that far away from being passable.dd_ wrote:I am not an expert, but did you use the Sharpen or Unsharpen feature?

Just tried this Marky, but it leaves a voice logo on the converted file. Unless you pay them $39.......Marky Dread wrote:This works for me ol' pal.Heston wrote:Can anyone recommend a good free Flac to mp3 converter, mine seems to have stopped working.

Re: I need a good boffin.
No. ahh wait a minute I did but some software from them a while back so maybe it's part of the package. I was sure I got this as freeware though, sorry mate.Heston wrote:Just tried this Marky, but it leaves a voice logo on the converted file.
