It broke a record for what my computer guys had seen. I use TrendMicro now.

thousands upon thousands. Only hospitals buy them.

Maybe you won't, but thousands of others will!
Did you see the other post where someone mentioned 12.00 an hour is considered *good* money? Ay-yi-yi. :(
Hundreds of thousands
Told to us by this lying administration that has been discredited, this administration who has lied to us many times in the past five years..Yes, Saddams administration did kill but so have we..We are worse than Saddam..We have killed tens of thousands of INNOCENT Iraqis, we have invaded a soverign state which caused no harm to us, we also due to our immoral illegal war have caused over 1,700+ Americans to die, also thousands more maimed and emotionally destroyed..We are the monster we removed..Bush equals Saddam..They are equal..They are in essence brothers..
Think of the THOUSANDS of people
who have no home, nothing but the clothes on their backs, their pets are probably dead, loved ones may have died, cannot get to work even if they had a job before, living in unfavorable conditions for an unknown period of time, but probably months. Don't need gas because they don't have a car, or no longer have a car.
Maybe people will stay home more and realize that all this busyness isn't go great, that being with family, playing board games, having dinner together is more rewarding.
Of course. Where did I say it prevented ALL viruses? sm
However, if you do any research, you'll find that switching to Firefox drastically reduces your exposure to viruses. Additionally, plug-ins for Firefox further increase protection against some viruses, such as those that come through Active-X. The e-mail program you use as well as common sense of not opening attachments from people you don't know also help.
I think this has viruses attached to it. sm
Plus, you need to beware. Stedmans is not free, you have to pay no matter what version you get.
I have had WAY too many viruses come from limewire. sm.
Be very careful about music and video sharing and downloading through them. I tried them about a year ago and nearly every song downloaded had poor quality of wasn't the correct song. The first worm I got was not that bad, but then I got an actual virus. Had to totally wipe my computer. I was NOT happy.
RayGuy, do you get a lot of viruses with limewire?
x
Not RadGuy, but yes, you can get viruses with Limewire.
I just fixed my friend's computer. She had about 20 viruses and trojan horses, not to mention over 300 Spyware entries. It took me about 6 hours to get it back to proper working order. The only thing she had was Limewire.
Without CMT I made in the high 50 thousands
years ago, have cut to part on my own but I think just having the knowledge and speed will do it. I always thought just a waste of money really.
To each their own. It's safe. Thousands of people are using it.
Nobody said YOU had to.
Yes, and I swear I've gotten viruses
from tech support screwing around. I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting. If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.
I think they do more harm than good! 
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.
And if thousands of people jumped off bridge,

You literally have nothing better to do????
How can you call yourself a professional and say those things then if you are not jealous? You are really showing some style here, let me tell ya'? You sound so classy! NOT!
That was hundreds of thousands of WELL-WRITTEN and WELL EDITED letters
.
How many of you that use computers know how to do updates, repairs, clean up viruses, etc?
Just because I work every day using a computer, my husband has said tonight he thinks I should go to a computer class because I spent out $150 today for a person to come and get rid of several viruses on my computer. I asked my husband if he were so interested in this, why didnt he go to computer class and learn himself. I said I was coming on MTstars and just see how many of us transcriptionists also do our own repairs. Ok, MTers, now is your time to speak up!
MQ Rules, literally! Go MQ!

NO! NO! That is so weird. I literally just got off the
phone calling Frontline with the SAME THING and asking details on cat treatment then after I went out and bought some. I got a really nice girl! NO - dog flea products are often fatal to cats. I have 2 adorable rescue kittens who are loaded with fleas. We have been waiting til they were old enough for Frontline, and I'm short of cash too, so was thinking of fudging with the dogs' Frontline that I have extra of!! Good luck! Meow!
The type where you literally (sm)
can't tell if they are saying black or white?? How do they do that? Working in an office, we could have 4 different MTs listen, and 2 would think the dictator said the patient was black and 2 would think he said white. Grrrrr.
Thousands of peoples identification stolen in Rhode Island
to buy state permits.
So it might well be that free AV users infect others' computers withj viruses.?..nm

I wish I knew enough to help. My daughter had viruses totally shut her computer down
but hers did let me at least reinstall XP. I had a disc lying around from some of my old computers and it worked fine on it. The downside is that obviously when I reinstalled she lost all of her saved files, picture etc..but she had a working computer and that is all she cared about without having to replace the hard drive. I honestly wish I could help but I am not sure there is any way to transfer or recover what is on your computer if it will not even read a CD to burn to or a USB flash drive. Have you checked out the forums at Dell.com. I went to the troubleshooting area and it lead me to a tech support forum where I could enter in the error message and it told me what I could do to fix the problems and it did work. If nothing else, I would try to take it to a computer shop to have them assess it and let you know what is or is not salvageable. Good luck. I feel you pain.
I knew because I could literally hear it
I could hear the explosion(s) from where I lived, plus the hubby called me because he was on the bridge and he could see one of the Towers burst into flames. But I totally understand feeling kept in the dark. I don't remember anyone from my account calling me or discussing it with me. The first attack (when a truck exploded in the garage, I think, of the World Trade Center years before), I didn't find out about til I turned on the TV that night. I totally understand the isolation factor.
4000+ lines a day is literally not possible.
The MT companies are ripping MTs off with VR. It takes nearly as long, and in some cases longer, to edit and correct VR reports as it does to straight type them, and to pay half (or some horrible companies pay only a third!) of the line rate is completely unfair and unethical.
You seem to forget the HUNDREDS of thousands Saddam killed, execution style.

She may be an MTSO, but I knew an MT who literally typed 18 hrs a day.

"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

when I post a job, I get literally hundreds of responses
- that's without offshore-- and people with good skills and experience are willing to work anywhere from 18 cpl to 12 cpl to 6 cpl. So I would say yes, the field is becoming increasingly more competitive
You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
I have actually loaded it from the testing the company sent and have literally gone in and deleted i
the pedal just works terribly. I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out. If not, well then I am not sure what I can do.
Yeah! After 11 years of it, I'm so sick of it I could literally scream, and that's no joke!
And these docs who dictate faster than the speed of sound, like they could give a rat's butt because they're in too big of a hurry to get out on the golf course, I like to strangle with my own bare hands. I'd like to tell them all what I really think about them. Truly, I have zip respect for 99.9% of the doctors out there today, who seem completely incompetent. How they manage to get out of med school I'll never know!
oops....cant spell today, supposed to be literally, not litterally. I added a T too many. hehe. nm

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach
them how to steal our jobs?
