no virus but im sure you get trogans that are not detected by antivirus
Nothing is free. There is always a catch.
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.
AVG free virus scan
nm
First I'd reboot and if that didn't work run a virus scan. nm
 
not a virus, a glitch. if you run a scan regularly, you would see no festations. NM
.
Have you done spyware scans, defrag, virus scan and reboot? All of these help me. Run spyware
:P
try an off-site, online scan
Go to www.bitdefender.com and use their online scanning. It is very good. If you've got anything, it will get rid of it. Highly recommended.
I dont think so that this has heavy virus site
Again,i've used these programs and checked them and they are virus free. To confirm this, try your best antivirus and scan all files. I use Avira latest virus scan and it detected none. For those of us who can't afford to buy the original stedmans, this is a good alternative. If you have the money, buy the software! If you have them and want to share, share them by all means!
So, bottom line is it is a fraudulent web site and viewing it may have exposed us to a virus?
dddd
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.
Isn't there a way offshore posts can be detected

Threats
It's one of those deals where if you don't work the long hours 7 days a week, you get the "Well I can certainly put other people on the account." Lately what's been happening is they are hiring a LOT of part timers just out of school. There were several of us with the company since it started up and we had accounts that were our own and it's like we are slowing being pushed out with loss of accounts and such. We always hear "you won't make what you make here" and yes the line rates were decent, but I am actually losing money by not getting shift diff and OT. I think the feds should crack down on these places. The boss is in the Bahamas for the weekend and we sit typing.
threats

I just also got a notice when logging on that my computer was attacked and they stopped it.  I wonder what is up?


 


Amherst threats
I too have been sitting this morning, once again waiting for some work. I agreed to switch to DQS/DEP platform along with my primary account and, before I could blink, my account (and me) got transferred across the country to Amherst. Amherst assured me they have lots of work, but here I sit and am getting poor response to my situation. Meanwhile, we get an e-mail saying they will hire more MTs if people who didn't have enough work during the week didn't then work the holiday. Very peculiar stuff these days with MQ--I've been shuffled from a suddenly closing office through 2 others in just a couple of months. I am wondering about other outfits. Are they any saner? I worked once for a small contractor and it was okay. Then I got an at-home full-time position directly with a hospital. This is my first real encounter with megabusiness MT world. Is it all the same with this kind of work?
Under tools/options, you can have it upload the files once the recorder is detected. I ...

have all of my accounts set up this way.  It makes it much easier and all the doc has to do is plug in the recorder.  I use DocShuttle with Olympus DS-2300 recorders.


Hope this helps.


Mr. Toth responds...with threats
I emailed this company, because I have friends who have been messed over by them. The response was nasty, and I rolled up my sleeves and leapt into the fray.

Apparently he considers it legally actionable just to email him something disagreeable. Below are excerpts from his responses:

"Now are you that stupid to think you are going to email me such a ludicrous statement, than expect me to not respond? How pathetic! Do you not have anything else better to do(obviously no work) than to email people you have not a chance in h*** to work for, which is why you seem to have too much time? I guess this shows you spend too much of that valuable time you have extra, reading trivial posts from meaningless people of which cannot comprehend a contract, or simply just passing it on from other posters and the same person/s.

"I thank you but the funny thing is...you are now part of our list of people that will be the cause of those posters on the net with which they seem to have caused "Tortious Interference" on our clients/transcriptionists, but will pay for their actions monetarily in a court of law. You are proof that these posts are made. Can you help in telling me exactly what board this is on? The posts will go away, I assure you, Legally! But they have to keep them for this reason and I can find out each and every person posting because they have to keep your information on record. Right down to the exact computer in any location within any country in the world.
"

If I read this correctly, the guy thinks he can legally intimidate all of you for posting anything bad about his company.

Good people.
Scan it in.

Copy the pic.  When you go into word, just view "header/footer" and paste in the pic.  This has worked for me. 


do paragraph, then scan over it
I listen as I go along also.  It really gets to be quite easy.  To reread the report definitely would cost money.  I do a paragraph or so and as the doctor is shuffling papers or gathering his thoughts, not really dictating, I scan down the paragraph to make sure it is okay.
chalasia scan
achalasia cardia scan for gastroesophageal reflux disorder
Just run a scan of the C drive with the AVG - sm
it will scan everything and let you know if it finds anything. It automatically quantines them I believe so you should have any any problams in any case.
executive body scan???
Could this be correct?  Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.
try googling "achalasia scan." nm
??
it's true...go to MSNBC.COM and scan down. :-( nm

Please help with PET scan on Word Board
xx
Scan through and hopefully catch mistakes as I go. sm
That don't pay me enough this day and time to proof every single word I type. Take our wages minus IC expenses and we aren't making much. I look at it like you pay for what you get sometimes. Now that isn't to say I don't care about quality as I do. I just proof as I go and try my best to catch it and be accurate but I do have 15 yrs exp and can usually tell immediately if I have made a typo. I may get a he or she mixed up here and there but no major errors in the report.
You have dragon scan your documents and -
it picks up words it does not know and has you train them, and it also recognizes words that you use more than others.
How to bill for HIDA scan?

I know HIDA scans are nuke med but would they fall into the category of CT/MRI/PET or US/DEXA for billing purposes?


I say CT/MRI/PET but please correct me if I'm wrong.


Has anyone ever heard of or has had a chalasia scan for GERD? sm

My 4 y/o daughter is scheduled to have this done tomorrow AM. I have tried to Google it, but not getting much info on it. She was at a specialist today and they scheduled her to go to the Childrens Hosp for a Chalasia scan, which is also referred to as a gastroesophogeal reflux scan. Any info would be much appreciated. thanks


maybe it's time for a scan disk and defrag....sm
First, I'd do a scan disk and then defragmentation and then reboot the computer.  If it's still freezing, perhaps you are running out of space (?) and/or need more RAM (memory) which is cheap to buy today.  Also, while you ran a virus scan - do you have a program similar to spybot?  They pick up things that sometimes get past your virus scanner.  Hope it works out for you! 
I do a restart every morning after I run spyware scan.
:P
There is a Technetium MAG3 scan. Not sure about the numbers used.
Hope this helps.
I do the same thing. Then when the report is finished, I scan back through
the whole report to make sure I didn't leave any stop code markers behind, and listen to each blank once again.
Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!


Sheesh. Lighten up. It WAS funny. You don't scan the enitre report, or whatever! It was amusing i

Actually, you don't have to answer that...


Try achalasia scan, not a chalasia. Easy one to miss. good luck. nm

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
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!

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...
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont

know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.


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

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
