I currently use a program called PC cillin. I have used Norton, and with both I still managed to get "worms" on my computer. Also, my internet service is with AOL.
Thanks.

My virus protection keeps catching emails with the blackmail.F virus. That
has been going around for a few days and different variants of that are popping up. Don't know if it is related as I have not had time to research it. Watch out for that one too.
virus protection
There is a company who is connected with Norton, Symantic (spelling ?) that has Eanthology/stop sign. Look it up on the web. This costs less than $7 a month (I have 3 computers on this). You download from the web, has a firewall, pop, the whole 9 yards. I have a VIP subscription and they have been on the phone with me for an hour before fixing my computer. I would recommend them to anyone. You can also find them by putting in Stop-sign computer protection service. Let me know if you need additional info
wrong. the virus protection and anti-spyware
are only as good as the updates and are NOT 100% all the time. NO program is 100%. Hackers are finding new ways to compromise computers every single day and no program can protect from all of them. The longer you are up and running, the more chance of being invaded. don't fool yourself into thinking antivirus and antispyware are fool proof, because they are not. You have to think smart and protect yourself too, by shutting down when not in use and allowing new updates to take effect. duh.
Do not download the Panda titanium software for virus checker and spyware protection. It corrupted
my entire computer, had to have service man fix it to the tune of $150.00.
What virus program/internet security do you use - always used Norton, but a computer tech told me

Can someone recommend a good company?
You can only find out so much from a company's website......of course they are not going to include "not enough work to keep you busy" or "so much work you will never leave your desk again" or even better yet "we really never send you a paycheck." I am looking for a full-time home-based position, preferably clinic, and I do have experience. Can someone recommend a company?!?!?!?!
Can someone recommend a good spellchecker? ~sm~
I want a spellchecker that comes on CD that I can use again if my computer crashes. I had to purchase a new computer because my old one crashed and I am in the process of installing all my programs and software on my new PC. I have a line counting program and a spellchecker but they are both on A discs and newer computers do not have an A drive. Also, these discs (which I did not know when I purchased them) only gave you so many installations so if you wanted to move it from computer to another you had to uninstall it from one. Since my old computer crashed, I cannot go in and uninstall it and put it back on the floppy. I can't even sell these two programs on ebay as I have no idea how many installations are left on them! I do not understand this - I realize companies are protecting themselves from a person purchasing their product and then giving it to their friends but I have had times when I had more than one computer in my home and they were all only for my use. After having this last computer crash, I realize that I need another back up computer because I make too much money working on it to be without it and I have commitments that I have to honor.
Anyone recommend a good, reliable online...sm
pharmacy that they, themselves had used.. with no ripoffs? I know there are many reputable ones out there but also many scamful, dangerous ones. I know they are generally not cheap, but I need to know I'm getting what I ordered.
Good point - Income Tax and Social Security
It would be nice to see someone do a study on this. Not only the income tax dollars there are not going to our federal government, your states, but also what it would do for our social security program. I am sure we would be shocked at this impact. No one seems to want to talk about it. They say that offshoring is good for our economy because it makes businesses more profitable - but at what cost to all of the American people regarding jobs and tax funded programs? I don't get it.
Could anyone recommend a good headset and where they got it. Mine keeps cutting out.
I have had a heck of a time finding a good set of ear phones.. Everytime I buy a pair they either break, cord isnt long enough or sound quality isnt good.. HELP...
Can anyone recommend a good, safe Canadian pharmacy? NM

Insurance is good, but I'd recommend you don't get too specific in coverage.
You could contact a company like Colonial Supplemental Insurance to get accident coverage and consider what other policies you might need, not just for your hands. After all, what if you are in an accident and it's your back that's keeping you away from your desk?
Can anyone recommend any good acute care reference books
I am thinking of changing from clinic to acute care transcription. Can anyone recommend any good reference books that I should have? TIA
Anyone can recommend headphones--good to great sound--Help-- See inside
Hi everyone. I have a need for some headphones with great sound. Years ago at Radio Shack for approximately $50.00 you could get the best headphones, like the CIA uses for listening I think :) The sound was fantastic and far better than our MT headphones.
Well, now I have an account with very unclear, low volume. I just need better sound coming to the ears. Like in the olden days when I just typed because I could actually hear what they were saying!
If anyone has any great headphones, that minimize listening time and maximize typing time, please post or email me. I left my email address, just click the link to email. Thanks SOOOOOO much. Thanks. Really. Thanks.
Can somone recommend a good health insurance plan for my son who is in college? *sm*
He needed one more class for his bachelor's degree and because he is not considered full-time, he is no longer covered on my plan. Thanks.
Can anybody recommend a good seat cushion for my office chair? I'm having a lot of problems SM
with numbness in my tailbone, and left buttock with tingling down into my left leg and foot. I can't afford a new chair right now as I just bought this one six months ago. I have to get up and stretch out and walk around quite often during the day and its cutting into my production.
Can anywone recommend a good vacuum cleaner? My old one broke and has to be replaced. Thanks. NM

Wish Escription would mention that when they recommend the adapters or just recommend the one. nm
No but I keep one for my own protection!

For your protection, I would definitely get a lawyer
especially if they're going to hire one.
You could forfeit your rights to the property if you don't respond properly and in a timely manner and in order to do that you need a professional to examine all the legal paperwork.
My neighbor went through a somehat similar situation with her house...but too long to go into here.
My space protection.
Okay, so you can limit who can see your child's profile but can you limit the profiles your child can search for and look at? That is my question.
Because you have overdraft protection, you're...
fine as far as doing nothing illegal. Also, when a deposited check bounces and there have been checks written assuming the check was good, that is not illegal. However, writing a check and KNOWING the funds are not there is check kiting, which is a federal offense. Do banks prosecute? Normally they will not, unless it comes to the point of numerous checks OBVIOUSLY written knowing they will not clear on the second or third time (maximum of 3 times). Then, the recipients of the checks can press charges. Believe me it happens. I was a bank manager for many years, and, although it didn't happen very often, it did happen.
Also, in reality banks love check bouncers. They are the "money maker" accounts. Those fees add up VERY quickly.
My dh is a deputy sheriff, and the jail in his county has many, many inmates in for check-kiting. In our state the first conviction is 1-5 years, and it get worse from there.
Who hasn't written a check at the grocery store on a Thursday night, knowing the money wouldn't be there until they made a deposit on Friday. I know I have. One day is pretty safe, but now that so many banks use the same clearing house, writing a check even 2 days before a deposit is risky...unfortunately speaking from experience here.
So, overdraft protection is the way to go. Safe and legal. 
BK laws have changed. Ch 13 (repay) protection
is only option available if I understand the details correctly. Visa Corp. has tried to push this bill through for a decade and it was finally passed. There may be certain dire situations that allow an individual to wipe out debt (Ch7) but it will be a rare one. It is wage garnishment until the debt is paid, basically, though it may stop added penalities and possibly stop the debt from growing over time. See a reputable BK atty for a free 30 consult. It is all in the numbers really. What you owe and what your earning potential is, possibly the situation at hand but not like before (I filed Ch 13 after misfortune to save my home, paid back debt over 3 years with my wages garnished). Bad timing for this economy and many people will suffer, especially the elderly and the ill.
YES, your email has COMPLETE protection on this site. We have worked VERY hard to make sure
that e-mail addresses are protected. Spheris did not glean your email address from this site. In the meantime, if you enter your email address in the E-mail field, you can be emailed, but the sender cannot see your email address. They have no idea WHAT your email address is. ONLY if YOU reply to them will the sender then find out what it is. If you have further questions, email me and we'll discuss it.
Surge protector light blinking on switch. Does this mean the surge protection is not working. nm

I had one too and a virus
I went to a really great website that took care of my spyware. I also went to SBC and downloaded their security program that has a virus scan included. I no longer have the Spyware or the virus.
If the other website that was posted does not work, try geekstogo.com
I hope this helps!
Paulette
Could be a virus. I would run your virus
scanner. This is what happened to me - I got mail from my brother and it went to everyone in my address book AND everyone in their address book, and so on, and so on. Horrible virus.
virus
I had the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded the latest version of Ad-Aware (lavasoft.com) and it removed it.
No virus
Just copy the links to your address bar so that it will route you to the download site. sorry that was all i got. There are NO virus in these files i tested them and they work. You don't need to register to stedmans so you don't have to pay them anything. Anyway, they are a big help for me i hope they will be to you too!
VIRUS!!!!
Someone please help me. I have a virus obviously that is blocking all access to the internet. Even when I try to pull up my email, it says that is has a problem and it wants me to buy stuff - obviously, my boyfriend did not know that you never click anything when you get those messages and now I have serious trouble. It appears as though it is a windows product (which I am sure it is not). Can somebody give me someway, somehow to get it gone?
AVG virus
I had the exact same thing with AVG they are a rip off. I finally found a program that is a free program that will get rid of the virus. It is Trojan Remover 6.7.5 if you do a search for it I think it is like trj675.com or something like that. It worked when I did the same thing with the tech and 200 bucks and no luck they said I would have to reformat my drive...
Re: Virus Program
My computer tech also advised against Norton. He said he personally uses AVG and has not had any problems. Their website is
www.grisoft.com
I've got the AVG free edition and have had no problems. I got it after Norton froze up my Word program. It didn't release until I removed it from my computer. I don't know anything to tell you about Panda, but most techies know a good program when they see one, so it probably is better than Norton.
virus program
AVG is what I use, recommended by computer tech at www.worldstart.com or Avast is good, and both of them are free, as is Spybot Search and Destroy, does a good job for spyware. World Start has a forum where you can ask any computer questions, and their people have always been very helpful. Hope this helps you.
AVG anti-virus...
and also Microsoft's own Anti-Spyware are good. www.microsoft.com (downloads) and Google in AVG and go to their site...
maybe all they had was virus attachments, which
leaving the blank e-mails?
Don't know, really. Just throwing that out there.
Anyone know if there is a stomach virus going around right now.
:
stomach virus
Live in New England and it is rampant. All 5 grandkids and their parents have been passing it around. My little granddaughter calls it "the throw ups" but it's more than that. Patiently waiting - hope it "skips" me and I don't get it from the kids. I have had stomach cramps but no other symptoms "yet."
Anyone here about the Windows XP virus out right now?? nm

How about the different virus checkers that
s
Someone posted something about a virus

Virus threats ?
If you have a strong virus protection (..plus) and a firewall, it will give you 'virus' threats, even if you try to access your newly installed programs. You have to modify your firewall options.
That's why they are supposed to have virus

That Postcard Virus
warning has been going around for a few years now.
is that a joke. thanks for the virus
i went to you link and it has a virus. thanks
What do you mean? It's not a joke and it has no virus either.
I had no problem with it.
virus software
Me too, I switched over to Norton's as well. I agree with you.
virus software
I hope that is not true. My son works for our police department and they use AVG free, in fact that is where I heard about it. I have had Norton - so slow and also others in the past.
best virus protector
I do not know about the best, but I use Trend and love it. It is so much faster than Norton. I always hated it and had it several times until I discovered Trend. Hope this helps.
Probably a virus/spyware
I had this happen a couple of years ago and it was pretty disconcerting. I think I ended up running my virus scan, my Ad-Aware...I am trying to remember, but I think the thing that replaced Google ended up being a program that I had to go into my Add/Remove programs and remove it. It was a pain in the butt and kinda scary knowing that something had a hold of my computer and God only knew what was going to be damaged/hijacked. I don't know how tech-comfortable you are, but if you've got any tech-savvy friends, it might be worth summoning them over to find where this may have taken root.
If security is what you want,
I'd look for something higher paying before relocating. Don't know where you're at, but there are numerous clerical jobs in CA on usajobs.opm.gov. One in SanDiego right now for $33K in department of health for someone to do transcription.
Job security??? There is NO job security in
