and I got a message saying that it is not advisable to have to antivirus programs running at the same time. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to that kind of technical stuff. From an MQ standpoint, what is your opinion on McAfee, already installed on the MQ computer, or AVG or something else?
I guess I always thought that just having McAfee was safe enough but now Im not sure. Even though the virus threat here wasn't real it makes me wonder if there are real ones that McAfee isn't catching.
It seems like I can't go a single pay period without losing hours because something is always going wrong with my computer. (Aside from my internet provider who seems to have problems only at night when Im working).
For instance, at least once a month I will have a problem in DocQScribe where when I press the foot pedal the cursor will go away and I cant listen and type at the same time. Then when I let off the pedal it continues to talk for a second or two then the cursor takes a second or two to appear before I can start typing. Very frustrating! So I do all the scans, clean the computer, etc......and it doesn't work. So I'll shut the computer off and then I have hours to try to make up. I work third shift because it is impossible for me to work during the day with all the interruptions I get from the kids and stuff. Therefore, I am not able to always make up my hours. I fear losing my job.
Then there are times when I click over to the internet to research something and when I go back to DQS.....the screen comes back one little thing at a time sometimes it will take forever to finish. I thought maybe it was DQS but the same thing happens on the internet....one...thing.....at....a.....time. Or it will just be stuck with only a partial screen.
Any advice? Would AVG or some other virus protection be better for me? I just downloaded AdAware the other day hoping this would help. I don't know yet.
The other thing is (I'll call MQ about it, but want to see if anyone else with an MQ computer has this prob.) when I try to do a....um....Ugh! I can't think of what it's called right now....when it basically compresses the files to free up space...it tells me it can't because I have to run a CHDSK (or something like that). I do delete the history and cookies. I delete the temp internet files and all that stuff. I try to keep the computer as clean as possible but those are the 2 problems that just happen ALL the friggin time. I don't think I've gone an entire pay period without one of those things happening and it seems like it only happens when I'm working!!! But that's how my luck is.
So, any thoughts or helpful advice? Again, thanks in advance. I really appreciate you guys!!
