update & question on wireless router & trouble connecting to clients
I posted last week about hooking up a new laptop & wireless router & then not being able to connect to remote VPN and Citrix clients. Someone helped me by suggesting a Belkin router instead and I got that and now I can connect to the VPN client but still not to the Citrix one. I asked their tech support for help & they said we'll find out, but our own people cannot use wireless so we don't think it works with our system. They're not getting back to me. Has anyone solved this problem before? This client uses Meditech and I can connect while the wireless is active, but it loses connection every 30 seconds. I would just rather not have to unplug the thing & have no one in the house be able to use the laptop every time I work for this client if there is something else I can do. Apparently I'm not going to get help from the client!
Internet Explorer trouble
Has anyone ever had IE just poop out on them? I was able to log onto IE yesterday morning with no problems. Then, about 2 hours later I needed to go online and research a medication. I got the following error message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error. Program:CProgram FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information." I tried running TrojanHunter Guard, Ad-aware spyware detection, and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but it won't let me do that. I've downloaded another browser called Opera which was recommended to me just so I can get online. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks for any help or advice.

anyone having trouble with the Internet this morning? sm
I'm able to get some websites, but not others. I can get here and can download my work/email, but not other websites (Yahoo, Google...).
This is strange. I think someone broke the Internet!!
I didn't have trouble when I installed, but it doesn't work well with Internet Exploer 7. sm
I have had to uninstall IE 7 due to script errors and such. Works great with the IE 6 though. 
Tech question. I have discovered spyware on my PC. It is blocking me from using anti-spyware softw
and fix the problem. I need help! Any ideas on how to locate the offending program and get rid of it. I downloaded Ad-Aware in an tried to run it and it's blocking that too and my McAfee is being blocked as well. I cannot run a scan at all.
Have you done spyware scans, defrag, virus scan and reboot? All of these help me. Run spyware
:P
Spyware hijack? Have you run spyware/virus

DocShuttle is just for connecting to FTP
It's a program for connecting to an FTP server to download voice files. It's not a program that you transcribe in or anything.
Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
spyware
the spyware site you are referring to is www.ewido.net/en/
I went there and tried free version...did not find anything my present spyware program had not found. try emptying your temp. internet files, empty your cookie cash, and defrag. see if that helps. oh. and maybe empty your history folder too. sometimes that gets bogged down after awhile too.
spyware
try spybot, search and destroy, free download, free spyware, or spyblaster.
spyware
Happened to me today when I started working - took almost four hours to get it straigtened out with Dell - glad I paid the $300 for IT support - otherwise my computer would be a goner and I just bought it in August.
Which spyware did you use.
:
spyware
Adware SE and Spybot actually installs Spyware onto your computer. I used them for a while and could never get certain spyware off my computer because they belong to Adware SE and Spybot. I downloaded the free beta spyware program from www.microsoft.com and no longer have any spyware. You can also program this to run every morning. Good luck!!!
spyware
Try Spyware Doctor - I have found it to be a great program. lc
spyware (sm)
If you don't remove Spyware from your computer, eventually you will have so many spyware programs running that you won't be able to surf the internet because the programs will be using all your resources to send info back to their servers. It does need to be removed.
The link below has software you can download for free. It is the full version for the first 30 days and if you don't buy, it will automatically become the freeware version. Run that and see if it gets rid of the error. You'll probably be surprised at how much data is being mined off your computer.
spyware
Does anyone else's pc get infested with Spyware after visiting this site?
Spyware!!
I'm having a problem with my computer, and could really use some advice. I started getting this popup asking me to install their anti-spyware program. It was so annoying and just wouldn't go away. Then, one of my transcription programs disappeared. After that, my computer kept shutting down on me. And then, it wouldn't come on at all. I finally was able to get it to stay on and I went right out and bought the latest version of McAfee, but now when I try to install it, I get a failed installation message. I have a feeling that whatever virus I have contracted is actually stopping me from installing the McAfee. Has anyone else had this happen. I'm so frustrated! I will never let my anti-virus software expire again, that is if I can get one on my computer again!
keylooger spyware
yes, you need to be concerned. This would allow someone to steal your passwords to anything. There is a company eAnthnology (symantec the folks that does Norton) that you can download from the internet. For a small monthly fee ($7) you get a firewall, emaill scanner, popup blocker, etc and telephone support if needed. Scans are automatially ran at specific intervals that you set and then they are automatically cleaned. If cannot be cleaned right then, message is sent to the company and they write a program to fix and then it is fixed automatically. Great company!!!! I have used them for years.
Help! I have spyware on my computer
I have dealhelper Spyware on my computer and I ran Adware SE and spybot and can't get it to go away. It is on my list of computer programs under add/delete programs and it is taking up almost 3000 MB of space. It won't let me delete it through add/delete because it says file not found. Is anybody technically savvy? Do I need to purchase one of these expensive programs from the internet to get this off my computer or is there a free one?
Question about Spyware. sm
I can't find a technical board, so here goes. I was evidently infected by Spy Sheriff about 6 weeks ago. I kept rerunning my Norton, and the red button with the white x finally stopped popping up constantly. However, when I make a new Word file, I get a second file that looks like a ghost file, with a tilda and a dollar sign in front of it. Now I am having trouble with my internet connection cutting out, having to reboot frequently, and my emails are not always going through. I'm not sure if this is related. I have tried to find info on this "virus," but there is so much conflicting info I don't know what to believe. Has anyone had this problem? Do I still have the spyware? Can I get something that will completely wipe it out, or will I have to wipe my hard drive? Will that even work, if I have to reload my ShortHand and Word? Any advice appreciated. TIA.
Escription - Spyware?
Hey, everyone. I need some advice - again! I just started training on Escription and have noticed that it has some processes that run in the background while I am not even using the program. Did a little investigating and found out that these processes are monitoring me!!! Now, call me paranoid, but I do not think Escription has any business monitoring me when I am not running the program. I know this is part of their whole "learn to use shortcuts and be a great transcriptionist" program, but it kinda burns me.
I was really happy with my company until I discovered this. Now I am very displeased, and not sure of how to handle this, what to do. I guard my privacy almost religiously.
I know Escription is a popular platform, so some of you have worked/do work on it. Can you tell me how you feel about this issue, what you would do, etc?
Thanks in advance.

Spyware on EXText too?
Does anyone know if Dictaphone ExText uses spyware?
Remove Spyware...
The best method for removing Spyware is called "Spybot Search and Destroy" It is available from downloads.com. http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10804822.html that page will start the download right away, it's a safe link. It is also a free program. Spybot will clean the PC, and when you run the "immunize" program it will keep things safer. Also if you install "Teatimer" which is included, it will warn you if something is trying to make a change, such as a website that tries to change your home page or add to the registry. Teatimer can become annoying when you are installing software though, because it pops up every time the new software tries to make a change to warn you, and you have to click "approve change" if you're in the middle of installing something.
On another note, I have found that just running Firefox instead of Internet Explorer has saved me from many problems as well.
My 2 cents.
Spyware 2008
Is anyone, or has anyone dealt with this thing? My daughter is home for Christmas and I do not know if she accidentally started this thing or not. She only goes into Facebook and MySpace, as I do. Anyway, this thing keeps popping up. My virus scan keeps blocking it. Do I have anything to worry about?
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.
I agree with the poster regarding spyware.
good Spyware program
Ewido: http://www.ewido.net/en/
My husband learned about this from one of his college professors. We both tried it and discovered that it found stuff on our systems that other Spyware programs such as Spy Sweeper and Spy Blaster missed.
It's spyware, Google soproc.exe nm

You do not have to spend 100.00, or 30.00, or 20.00 to rid your pc of this spyware. Follow the
directions provided with this link and you will be fine. There are SO many free virus/spyware removers online, that if one has the time, patience, knowledge, and fortitude, you should never have to pay for this, or any other type of pc maintenance.
Absolutely not! We wound up with spyware and viruses because
none of them are that Internet savvy. Oh, a popup that says it's going to protect my computer. Let's click on it! Oh, no! A virus and spyware.
I'm not risking losing my files, compromising the security of my documents, or spending valuable time cleaning up their messes. I bought myself a new computer so they get the old one now.
Is there any spyware you can use that doesnt interfere with all your other programs at all. I have
XP and service pack 2 etc etc just about all the programs you can have and Norton so dont know if they have Spyware in them or not. I have office also.
I do a restart every morning after I run spyware scan.
:P
I meant Spyware doctor from Google.

Remote 008Keylogger found constantly on my spyware.
Everytime I log onto the server for the company I work for I run my spyware. Everytime I open a job lately I have re-run my spyware and it seems to me that "008remote keylogger" is constantly on my PC. This spyware enables the "server" to see everything I type, every email, and where I go on my internet. Would anyone else be concerned?
Someone posted about a new anti-spyware program they had tested against several others - sm
and found it was better (or found more problems) than their existing programs. My computer has been a bit weird/very slow the last day or two, ran my SpySweeper (no problems) but I thought I would try this other one. However I cannot find the post. Can you either post it again or email me? Thanks.
Download eTrust EZ Antivirus. Free, and it got rid of my spyware.

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.
Multiple antivirus/spyware/adware on at same time?
 Can you run multiple programs for antivirus, etc. at the same time, such as this PC Tools free antivirus that I keep talking about, and the AVG that I keep reading about?
I know you can only have 1 firewall, but I'm not sure about the other security software. Any input? This computer stuff is SO and confusing and oh so frustrating!
Thanks in advance.
I use C-Cleaner. Gets rid of spyware and the like. Works wonderful and is Free. nm

Zone Alarm Pro also protects against adware & spyware.
It also protects against pop-ups. I've been using Zone Alarm Pro for years and never had a problem (with Windows XP or current Vista). It doesn't bog my system down like Norton did. The free programs don't protect on all levels like Zone Alarm does.
Wrong. That is why you have virus protectection and anti-spyware. To protect 100% of the time.
:P
Start Stop voice file player and conflicts with Spyware Doctor
I was having problems with StartStop and talked to one of their techs this morning. One of the bugs it was having was fixed when I turned off Spyware Doctor so I need a new anti-spyware program.
I’m thinking of trying Spyware Blaster. I called to see if there were any conflicts with that one but had to leave a message. In the meantime, does anyone use StartStop voice file player and also use Spyware Doctor without any buggy conflict problems between the two softwares?
Defragging & running spyware weekly helps the speed a bit, but more memory and a faster processor

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.
Does anyone have trouble with TMJ?
I have an appointment with an ortho to have it looked at. I have the clicking, bruxism, headaches, jaw fatigue and pain, loss of hearing on one side, and now neck pain and crepitus when I turn my head. The pain radiates all the way down my back. I'm so scared that i'm in the last stages and can only be helped with all sorts of surgery. Has anyone here been fitted with any sort of device that reverses this effectively? It makes my life miserable.
Don't want to get in trouble but want to ask a ?
about our MQ accounts.
I work out of the Amherst office and so far, I have enough work. This weekend we are a bit out of turn-around but the ladies on this account, and I, are working quickly to change that (when I'm not poking my nose on this message board).
I am wondering though, if it's just a few isolated accounts that are running out of work from the Amherst office, and it is illegal to discuss what accounts those are? It probably is--just think it would make a lot of us feel better (especially those of us out of Amherst that are starting to worry) if we knew that it's the same few accounts that are running out of work all the time, and not ALL of the accounts.
I don't know. This whole situation makes me sort of sick. I'm thankful I have work, but very sad that many of you appear not to and wonder when my account is next.
all the ones I usually have trouble with
I make expansions with my incorrect spelling to the correct one. There is just times I feel my fingers are dyslexic!
I had no trouble doing this on my last job, but cannot seem to do it now.
Different software. I have some of the same accounts, but none of the fast-moving accounts. This is all clinic work, but so was the last job. A lot of demographics to enter. The doctors give you all of these before they tell you which format this is, i.e. letter or office note, so you have to wait until you know to even start typing.
