Due Monday before class starts

1. A completed 3D model made using 123D Catch. You don't have to do the clean up on it yet. Just allow 123D catch assemble it. If it looks 90% complete, then it will work for our application. If you are having difficulty with this, be sure to watch the numerous video tutorials available on the 123D website. Ideally, you will use this model for part of your mashup/remix. Later, should you chose not to use this model, then you will have to create another one.


2. Use any online storage service such as Google Drive, SkyDrive, iCloud, or Mozy to backup at least 1.5GB. (See the earlier post titled Do You Know Where Your Data Is?) Take a screen grab of the dialog that shows you have done so and post that to your blog. This will take quite some time, so be sure to allow for adequate time to accomplish this. THE SCREEN GRAB MUST SHOW THAT THE UPLOADS IS COMPLETED, NOT MERELY IN PROCESS.

3. Update/Install an anti-virus application on your home computer and run a full system scan. I suggest that you take the actions that it suggest (delete bad files, quarantine files, etc.). Take a screen-grab of that and post it to your blog. If you are using a subscription based service which as expired, then I suggest that you uninstall it and install Microsoft Security Essentials which is free. If you are using a Mac, then you don't have to do this part of the assignment as there aren't a lot of Mac threats out there yet.

If you having problems with your PC, then I suggest you check out the resources available for free from Microsoft's FixIt service. I have found it to be very helpful with my own computers.
If you suspect that you may have malware on your system that your antivirus program hasn't found or is preventing your antivirus program from running, then I suggest you run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free.
