Any good programs free or otherwise? I use Outlook and lately all I get is spam for Viagra or what have you. I have filtering at my ISP but it takes out my important emails too. Ideas anyone?

You did not receive spam via this website. Your email address is not available
and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites. As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

I even get spam IMs! Never had that before.... (sm)
The most annoying is this ugly little blowfish that puffs up, says "Hi, Sexy", and then deflates. No amount of reporting him as spam makes him go away.
SPYWARE?
Is there a way to track the origin of IMs? (Always gibberish 'email addresses' on them - possibly comuter-generated.)
And how about all the spam for Rolex watches? What IS that c**p? Anyone get similar garbage-IMs, and do your companies offshore? I think Georgia MT may be onto something that is only the tip of a nasty iceberg.
It's just spam.
Those things have been making the rounds for years . . . they're most likely just garden-variety spam. You don't have to visit creepy websites to get them, either.
You'll get spam like that if your email address gets picked up on mailing lists. For instance, you enter your email address on some legitimate website, and then somehow the list of addresses ends up in the hands of some spammer. Or, your email address gets picked up off a board by an address-collecting spammer.
Just delete without reading them. NEVER click the things on the bottom where you can request to be removed from their list--those are usually just ways for them to confirm that they've mailed to a valid address, thus making your address more valuable for them.
If you're in the market for a new internet provider, Earthlink filters out most of those automatically and gives you a spam filter on your account. You can delete anything like that that gets through without having to download it into your computer and you can report chronic spammers to them so they can be blocked. It's very nice--you can rid yourself of spam AND get a grip on huge photos and jokes that your family forwards to you.
Need some help on how to cut down on spam
I don't know if there is a free web site I can install or just how to get rid of all this unsolicitated spam I get each and every day. Anyone out there, help!!
Set up spam filters. I have MSN as my ISP. sm
I get those all the time. Pocket Rockets, viagra, cialis, etc. Sometimes you can tell by the subject line what they are. If it is a name you don't recognize, chances are it is junk. DO NOT CLICK ON THE OPT OUT LINK. That tells them it was a legit email address. If you ever look at the names on the CC list, you will see all variations of spellings of your name and/or email.
MSN has different filter options. But I am sure your ISP probably has something similar. I have a safe sender list, a safe mailing list, and a blocked sender list. Anything that is not on any of my lists goes directly to my junk mail folder. I do check my junk folder periodically because sometimes legitimate mail ends up there. I find a lot of my scrapbooking sites end up there. LOL.
That said, I guess the only thing you can do is just not open anything that you don't recognize. And keep your virus, malware, Spyware and other "'wares" up to date.
Good luck.
Is your spam filter on?
It's a stupid question, but you didn't mention your spam filter Is it on? There is an options button on the mail page where you can make sure that your spam filter is on. I have yahoo and this catches 99% of it. Some of it still comes through, but I just click those as spam and it's not an issue. It's maybe one or two a week.
Interesting, I had spam today from someone who had
the same last name as mine, not a real common name. Kind of scary, though I just sent it off as spam. I have all kinds of security on my computer, but this was too wierd.
I had one also with my first initial and last name - all to crazy for me. It was spam also.

What is with all the obvious spam postings today?

because it is SPAM, it is fake, it is phoney, it's a SCAM.
ho hum
Tell them your ISP has installed a new SPAM filter and a it's intercepting a lot of your e-mails
x
Did you check your junk mail or spam folder? Sometimes they in there
Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
tried to email, invalid poster or email it said nm
.
San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm
who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.
I'm in Corpus.
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.
Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.
Good luck - hope it works out for you.
Can you email me? Email inside
Please email me as I need to find a good employer--trying to get rid of those golden handcuffs! Thanks. lsmithes@hotmail.com
and I also got an email in my home email--sm
address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people! Don't they realize that they are taking jobs away from us and probably doing something illegal, to boot? I sent the email to the authorities this morning after reading it. T'd me off!

NEW SOFTWARE
I have been out of the loop lately. What is this new software? I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously. I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 
software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use. I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use. Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software
I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc. I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax. Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes. Works for me.
software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it. I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it. But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart.
a/v software
aside from the fact that it's probably true..!! hehe.
if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.
Software Available
I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.
VR software
I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software. I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software. Yes, it is like basically editing. That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding. The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns. The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time. Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all. It makes for quite an amusing report at times. I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.
software
go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
Is there any software out there....
that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal? My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
To any software out there.... sm
go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html
they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.
Good luck!
What the best software to use?
Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
FTP software
I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator. I can read the files but they are in word pad. Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word. Can anyone help? TIA
OEM Software
I worked for a computer company that sold new computers. OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives. The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems. Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
Do you know what the VR software is?

software
I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
It would have to be software like PC Anywhere (sm)
and I would think they would have to have your permission to put this on there. As far as their own software, it wouldn't be able to *spy* on you. If someone else knows something different, please correct me.
Software
Could you let me know what system you are using and if you like it? For example, Vianeta, MD Intouch, Dictran. I am trying to find a good system for my company and would appreciate your input.
Thanks
You will need more than the software.
Software is only the interface between your computer and the computer where the files are being stored. You need to have a secure server set up somewhere that you can upload/download files. These are not free. There is one site, www.ftptogo.com, that provides FTP space without needing software
What is the software you will be using?

Save Keystrokes and get paid more $$. These abbreviation typing programs expand an abbreviation macro typed into the keyboard and produce the expanded words or paragraphs they represent into your document automatically to greatly increase your typing speed. We offer Instant Text, Shortcut and Abbreviate.
you already do this with your autocorrect and autotexts or quickwords in WP, but this software allows you to port all your entries over to any transcription software that is "compatible" with whatever Expander you are using WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THEM ALL AGAIN. It can be pretty extensive and a time saver.
Software
Where does one get medical spell checker software and short word software? About how much and how long does it take to get it? I thought companies provided those. All the ones I worked for did.
