Truth
I already have the portable version if it's missing many features that the Extended one has, I'd rather get the Extended one :)
Thanks in advance.
And the one with the best explications and differences gets 10 points.
Answer
Photoshop Extended CS5 goes beyond the regular version (Photoshop CS5) by adding features for video professionals, scientists and engineers, medical imaging professionals, and 3D modelers. It sells for about $1000 for the full version, $350 for upgrade version, or $200 for the academic version.
Photoshop Portable CS5 is *not a legitimate product*, and likely tainted your computer with viruses and trojans. Delete it, run scans your computer, and pray that no one has stolen your personal info.

How can I prevent getting the computer virus "conficker" tomorrow?
John
I heard about that nasty bug that is coming out tomorrow. I have good security, and my computer is fully updated. But how do you get the virus? Is it from opening emails or surfing the web? If I turn my computer and unplug the internet all day will that stop it?
Answer
You will NOT "get" the virus on April 1. On April 1, the variant C of the Conficker virus becomes active.
What does that mean?
1. It only concerns you if you already got it, you will not get infected particularly on this day. Variants A and B are already active.
2. variant C is hard to get infected with (though it is the most dangerous). It gets to you when your Windows autorun feature detects an infected pen drive, stick drive or portable drive.
3. even if Conficker C gets active on April 1st, it doesn't necessarely mean it will do something. Also, Conficker won't delete your files, grab personal info. Conficker will connect your computer into a massive virtual supercomputer made from millions of infected computers, which is called a 'botnet'. These are usually used to do big stuff, like hack government passwords, etc, but having a botnet virus (like Storm, Conficker or Kraken) won't disrupt your normal computer activity.
As a normal user, you have nothing to fear. At worst you internet connection may become a bit slower. The danger is that the Conficker botnet is thought to be made of over 9 million computers, which, if used for Denial-of-Service attacks, could cutoff a big country like the US completely off Internet.
How to tell if you're infected? Conficker prevents you from accessing antivirus sites, like kaspersky.com, bitdefender.com or patch sites like microsoft.com, msdn.com. Also, Conficker disables Windows Update to prevent patch install (Microsoft offers patches against Conficker since the middle of the month, if you're ok now, chances are you've already patched so you're good) and also disables your utility antivirus as well as Windows Defender and deletes Restore Points (if you're using the Windows Restore service).
