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.

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.
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
It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
Spyware hijack? Have you run spyware/virus

Get yourself a good tax program. sm
I use Turbo Tax Home and Business. Helps with all the deducts and also helps you with quarterly taxes the next year. I've been using it for about 6 years and love it.
It's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
WW is a good sound program (sm)
that nearly anyone can follow because it involves "real food" and no restrictions. I don't know about you, but when I'm told I can only eat this or that and not to eat this or that, that's when I start to fail at a "diet."
I see someone else suggested Atkins, and from what I've seen of a lot of people on that, usually it's not a lifestyle choice. They lose weight but if they change their eating habits, pounds come back with a few friends. South Beach, from what I understand, is also along the way of Atkins but they do promote good carbs, I'm guessing whole wheat/grains as opposed to simple sugar grains.
If you are currently not overdoing it on calories and following a fairly healthy diet, I would suggest upping the amount of time you walk, plus making sure you are getting in plenty of water. I walk 5 miles per day, takes 60 minutes, and in my weight loss phase, I lost on average 2 pounds per week. Sometimes 2-1/2, but averaged per month about 8-10 pounds. Do you have an extra 30 minutes to add to your walking regimen? Also, I did light toning, which also helps burn more calories, even at rest.
I don't know what your budget is like, but you could probably drop that extra 20 simply by walking more.
If it's using Escription, I would go for it. Very good program. nm

good encryption program

Need help finding a good expander program
I work on DocQscribe and I use Instant Text. Does anybody out there work on a different shorthand program that is compatible with DocQscribe? Instant Text is okay but I am wondering if there is another program I would like more.
new at this... how do I choose a good expander program?
 Which is best Expander program? anyway to get a free trial to check out how these things work?
I don't mind paying for a good program. ;) nm

can you suggest a good software program
to compare with the line counts being given by the hospital? I am also in the same boat, but I can access my line count. I would like an independent way of counting my lines, because you never know, right? What a world.
yes AdAware is good, so is that cleaner program
but just to be wary about others that offer free antivirus and then latch onto your system so you will buy it...

Does anyone know of a good, but cheap spell check program? sm
Just did an upgrade to XP and have lost my "free" Spellex that I got with my schooling on my old computer. I have a new job but cant afford to buy the Spellex program yet. Any good ones that do both medical and drug names that is CHEAP? I plan to buy the spellex again when I get a few paychecks, but for now I need something. It is getting really tiring looking up so many drug names! 
Andrews has a coding program, & its reputation is as good as their MT course.

Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now

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.

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.
:

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!!!

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.

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!
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

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.
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.

You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
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?
