Is there a good anti virus for my computer?

Q. Ok, so I bought my desk top like almost a month ago, and i have the anti virus Norton 360. Its free only for the first month. I cannot afford one so is there a good one I can download and will be completley free for ever?

A. yea ppl are always looking for the free stuff, look at this way with paid anti virus programs you can talk on the phone live with a tech when you come across a problem with a virus or software. with the free anti virus software you will have to email a so called tech and wait for a response. no one on one phone call tech support. on ebay you can get norton 360 real cheap for 1yr or 2yr subscription. ebay account is free to join. the only problem is that you will have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. you can use the free stuff until the norton 360 arrives in the mail.put it this way 1 ) problem with a virus or software, you email a so called tech, now you have to wait for a response by email. or 2 ) you have a virus problem or software problem, you can call norton tech support and speak live one on one with a tech. this tech will walk you through the solving the problem. you decide.

What Autodesk software should I download if I want to create video games?
Q. i am a member of the Autodesk student website and a graphic design student i was just wondering what software package should i download from Auto desk if i am head in the animation/ video game graphic design area? i would imagine its the Entertainment Creation Suite but i really have no idea i have only ever downloaded Maya 3ds.

A. You're gonna have better luck with moddeling and rigging animations with the Autodesk programs.
Usually, Video games run on 'Game Engines' that basically piece everything together, bit by bit.
What you're going to want, and is probably going to be the cheapest solution, is Unity 3D. It's free, easy to understand, and I've actually not had any problems with it what so ever.
I used to create little mini games myself in the Unity 3D engine, and the Blender 3D engine too, but if you're using Autodesk, a pretty complex program, You're going to probably want to start out with Unity, and work your way up with a few friends of yours!
Making a video game is alot harder than it looks! You gotta have coding, Modeling, Animation, Plots, Setting, Characters, Ect. Best of luck!

Is there a way to scan artwork and have it made into patterns for embroidery sewing ?
Q. I understand some machines have software programs this can be done but I am wondering which ones
or if there is other ways.

A. Setting up artwork for machine embroidery is one of several processes called 'digitizing'. This is what I do all day for a living; it's also my passion.
The software for embroidery setup is specific to the industry, so there's no photoshop filter or plugin to let you do this in photoshop or something like that. The art is scanned/resized/prepped and then you bring it into the embroidery software. Once there, you are basically tracing it in shapes that are 'stitch areas'; vectors similar to Illustrator.
So...
A few ways to do this:
1-take the art to your local embroidery/screenprinter (NOT an EmbroidMe franchise; they do poor work and suck for other reasons, too)
they will set it up and sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
2-find a site online and send them your artwork; they will send you a file (request .dst format- is most versatile) which you email to your local embroidery/screenprinter, they will sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
3-Contact me thru my profile page; I freelance and will give you a quote if you send the art/link to it
4- don't even bother with trying to find software to do it yourself; it has taken me almost a decade to get where I am skill-wise; this is harder than it looks!

Remember!
*It's the opposite of screen-printing for pricing-
screen-printing is priced based on color, but going larger is no problem
embroidery is based on stitch count of finished design. So you can have many colors but the size will be limiting factor as stitch count increases w/size
*don't skimp/cut corners; you will notice the difference in quality and NOT be happy!
*wouldn't recommend any of the cheap digitizing sites; would only recommend fastembroiderytapes.com -I don't send anything out to sites as I am fully capable of handling any setup that comes across my desk, but if I had to, it would be to them.

contact me for more details; below is link to samples of my setups...
