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.
Give them the benefit of the doubt the first time.

AVG Antivirus
I agree - AVG Antivirus is great - I actually have the pro version, which has a few more bells and whistles, but the free version is great too - mine runs an update every morning and scans my entire hard drive once a week and I never even notice - it also does a registry scan on startup, so you don't load anything onto your system when you turn your computer on - it's great!
Antivirus
It works great! No headaches like with Nortons. It runs and you don't even know it.
Antivirus software
I used to buy my software directly on the internet, but found that AVG is free, was highly recommended by many tech guys, and I have it running on two computers in the house. Catches all of the new viruses, so I don't have to worry about spending all that money on antivirus software. Try it. Goggle it to find the free software, as it updates on a daily basis and it scans your computer any time you want it to.
perhaps your antivirus or antispam?

Antivirus 2009
You are so right...it was entirely my fault...I definitely will be more careful from now on! I downloaded the Malwarebytes antivirus and it has partially removed it, but it is still blocking my IE, not sure how to get rid of this but I will keep trying.
Thank you so much for your help.
Antivirus programs sm
On my personal computer, I seem to have picked up some kind of virus. I keep getting popups all over the place and one of them is telling me that I have viruses and I should purchase their program to remove them, which I don't want to do because that program is likely a virus in sheep's clothing. I was running AVG (the free program) but apparently it did not stop whatever bug I picked up.
My questions are:
1. If I purchase an antivirus program (from Walmart or Staples, for example), will this remove whatever has already taken up residence on my PC?
2. What is the best virus program for the money on the market?
Thanks in advance! 
antivirus for vista
Thanks for your input!
What kind of antivirus do you use on your computer? sm
I have been using Norton AV, but my nephew (who goes to ITT Tech) says that I can just use AVG which is a free download antivirus....Im just not sure what to do. The tech guy I normally use is the one who said Norton. Anyone here use the free downloadable antiviruses or do you get better protection with the "paid" for antiviruses?  Thanks.
question about antivirus software
I have always purchased my antivirus software online and downloaded it onto my computer. If I buy the software, say at Sam's Club or anywhere, can it be loaded onto numerous computers? I have 4 networked in my home and all are going to be running out of protection soon. In other words if I only have to buy it once that would be great. TIA
your antivirus program may be blocking them,--nm

Is your antivirus program up to date
and a really good one because I'm thinking it sounds like you have a virus. I got a virus on my computer even though I had a Norton antivirus program running on it. There are so many new viruses that come out all the time it's hard for the antivirus programs to keep up with them. Maybe you should install a different antivirus programs/sypware CD than the one on your computer. Just a thought
Norton antivirus program
If my Norton antivirus program expires, will it still work but just not allow me to get updates, or will it stop working altogether? I was hoping to wait until the weekend to install a new one.
Beware of Antivirus 2009
While working late at night, I had something pop up that I thought was a MS product called Antivirus 2009, and thinking it was an update on their security, without checking it out, I clicked ok, then at the end, it states it costs $59...and I realized that it was not MS, so I backed out of it. I currently have AVG 8.0 and it has always done a good job for me...but now after several days and asking several different places, plus the Internet, I cannot get rid of this. It seems to be tied into my Google site, the one I use so much.
Does anyone know how you get rid of it? I removed the software (or so I thought) from my program) but it is blocking Google, and just keeps popping up constantly...driving me absolutely nuts.
Does anyone know of a solution to get rid of this? I hate to pay a techie to come out to my house to get rid of this, but I will if I have to...just thought I would ask here first.
Thank you for your help.
Beware of Antivirus 2009
AVG is great and not a resource "hog' like McAfee or Norton -- I have had computer problems in the past, and have dealt with Hiwired.com -- they are inexpensive, ALL USA-based techs and great people to work with -- they understand the MT and if you need a progam completely erased and you tell them as such, they will do it -- I had a problem a couple of weeks ago with Adobe and could NOT get files to load that were in that format -- they got it cleared up and no problems but almost every "tekkie" person including them, that I have talked to has recommended AVG
I am running antivirus softwre sm
and I am not working right now. The problem hs been going on for a couple months. I cleaned out my computer and it helped alot of other things, but not this problem. Thanks for the reply.
I would not bet on free antivirus programs,
that's how one usually gets some viruses in.
Download
McAfee
or
Norton.
Nothing good is for free....
for TechSupport: Do you think that free antivirus
programs ar safe?
Ewido security, Avast antivirus are what I use.

Search Google for AVG free antivirus

no virus but im sure you get trogans that are not detected by antivirus
Nothing is free. There is always a catch.
Check your antivirus program or firewall.
Change your battery. Also, some antivirus, screen savers,
and system utilities can cause computer time clock loss.

Download eTrust EZ Antivirus. Free, and it got rid of my spyware.

Whoa - I mistakenly downloaded a free antivirus
and nearly ruined my PC because it downloaded threatening messages constantly, constantly pestering me to download the 2009 version for a fee. I did not have a virus, it was just a fake.
It took me months to get rid of the program and had to keep researching to find out how to get the files out completely.
Just a heads up - make sure you read it before downloading.
Does anyone know of a good free antivirus software that will work with -sm
windows XP. I currently have AVG but I am not happy with that. Thanks.
Also avoid Antivirus 2008/2009. It is very nasty.

Exactly, one should only react to messages and warning from the antivirus program
one subscribed. Dr Virus! LOL!
Also regarding foot pedals and antivirus software programs
You can also try to find foot pedals on ebay, there they are much cheaper, I know, everybody knows this.
I think every antivirus software 'works' with any platform.
Why should it make a difference?
I do not think that the companies mean that some antivirus softwares DO NOT WORK with their platforms, they just ask for the safest and believe tht these 2, Norton and McAfee are the safest.
I work with Escription/Editscript and it is strongly recommended by my employer that either Noton or McAfee is downloaded and paid for.
I have McAfee, because, be;ieve it or not, MTSOs see these 2 as sefest.
Now I am expecting to be bashed by certain MTs for my 'rude' comment.
Never mind.
My Norton antivirus is showing a red X on my email and I have no idea what happened. How do I fix
that.
i am like you, i doubt it was even sent given her sm
flakiness it sounds. i would send her a certified letter demanding your money back within so and so days or you will contact the police dept for theft as well as sue her in small claims. however, small claims doesn't help much. you have to file in the county she lives in, which you can do via fax, but around here it costs like $60-70 just to file. then i assume you would have to go to OK for the court date so a lot of added expenses adding to much more than the $100. even if the court orders her to pay, there is no follow through with small claims. hey, you can contact judge judy, lol, and might even get a semi-vacation out of it for free. i would threaten her though and call her with a blocked # or use someone else's # to call her.
yep, when in doubt
 Just laugh at them. In the olden days of the Lanier stations, we had a female dictator that would keep cutting herself off like that. The report would be in like 20 pieces, and she would keep coming back on, didn't even sound frustrated or anything, just kept saying, "I am continuing." What a DOPE - SPEAK UP!!!!
NO DOUBT
This country is so screwed up right now it is not even funny. Do not believe the "lowest unemployment rate ever". It is LOW because people have RUN OUT OF unemployment and are off the books. He needs to be on unemployment, waiting for his checks and see how he likes buying gas at these prices. By the way, going up another 10 cents per gallon here today so they say.
Doubt it
Probably not qualified.

Doubt it!
I am sure someone else will come along before too long and enlighten us! At least we can hope so or this place is going to the birds because it is b-o-r-i-n-g!
No doubt....
Saw was scariest I have seen in a long time. Not for the squeamish!
I doubt it would help.
Not being negative here, but I've tried it. I don't think your company would approve of you using it, and I don't know if it would even work with their platform since it's not Word-based. Do you use an expander? Which platform are you working on? How many accounts are you bounced around on? Have to look up patient info?
I Doubt That. It happens all over.
8 years working for a hospital and we always had our "dry" periods around the holidays. Sometimes, it would be a month, sometimes 2 months. Last year it was 4 months! There was work, but very, very slow.
I now work for a national and am in the same boat. It started drying up around the holidays. I'm working a couple days a week, but not a full week. . . but I really don't care. I worked 7 days a week for 8 years and with everything else I do, time off is like heaven...but in the end, it will be like the 'other world' when the bills start piling up. 
without a doubt (OP)
I think the MT profession needs more respect, and no, we are not losers. Its work smarter, not harder. We earn what people with BA's earn, without the stress, in the comfort of our own home. Who wants to be stressed their entire life?? The corporate world is taking over, but they are all having heart attacks in their 40s.
My hats off to you for going back to school. Sometimes it takes a no choice situation for us to get out of our comfort zone, and just throw ourselves out there and see what income we can scare up. The past couple years I have really been exploring my passions, and that is what I want to take into retirement, something I feel fulfilled doing. Like you said, creatitivity. Even if I have to work 2-3 jobs. Thanks for your post, I figured I wasn't the only one a little worried.
Don't know, I doubt it - sm
but perhaps a system restore if you have Windows XP
good luck
I doubt it.

I doubt you need it
If you are an employee, you don't need it for sure as the finish product belongs to them, not you.
If you are an IC with a contract that the notes belong to them/the provider, you don't need it.
If you are working for a clinic on your own, always put a clause in there that either you don't support electronic signatures or the CYA "dictated but not read" at the bottom of the note.
In any case whatsoever, if you are doing your job properly you shouldn't have an issue. Also it is very plainly the physcian's responsibility to read their notes before signing. I know most don't but it falls on them. We are not the MD, PA, whatever. If you question things you think may not be right and don't guess, that should be enough.
Thanks, but I seriously doubt that she will--sm
It seems like she has already made her decision, as I have read previous posts from her on the same subject. Personally I think she knows this is a subject that is going to evoke responses and she is just trying to stir things up, but she is pointing her blaming finger in the wrong direction...in my opinion. I wish her luck.
Sorry, no doubt BOS says that..nm

#6 without a doubt
I was a legal secretary in litigation for many years. Only time I worked under daily pressure like this was right before a trial and that wasn't that often and I got paid supremely well for it too, especially before a trial, and I didn't know squat compared to what I need to know to do this. Then I ran a word processing/editing service with an emphasis on doctoral dissertations. Compared to each, THIS is by far the most difficult. We are typing and UNDERSTANDING and CORRECTING DICTATED ERRORS IN a foreign language all day under pressure day after day. Our job requires education and experience and skills the former did not. Besides that, what we do affects human lives and our mistakes will follow them the rest of their lives so we must be accurate. By all means it deserves a least a #6, especially if we go EMR and most docs don't check our work and that's pricing it LOW.
I rather doubt that, but if that's what you
then go for it.
I actually don't send mine very much. But even if I send them just ONE question a month, they still gripe about it. Pulls them away from their potato-chip and cookie binge-eating and their soap-operas, I guess.
Yes no doubt you do
And if you are good at what you do, filling in the blanks, the more power to you. I am sure it is not an easy job unless you are a superduper MT/QA person with a ton of experience. There is no silver lining in QA work from your perspecti
I doubt it has anything to do...
with creating an electronic medical record; in fact, the documents may already be uploaded to an EMR format. It sounds quite simple. They are trying to save money. I have had many clients over the years who operate in a similar fashion. It's not something new.
