Has anybody refused to use Landesk? I don't want to - installe it on my personal equipment.

Posted: May 24, 2013

The email I got said something about it being company policy to allow them maintain my computer but I've never seen that. I don't want them being able to access my computer whenever they want and install/remove stuff. I used to have one computer just for work but it died so I've been having to use my personal one until I can save up enough (on these meager wages) to buy a new one.

I just wondered if anybody refused to install it and if so, how well that went over.

I have tried, but I have a company supplied computer back from the Spheris days, it is very slow sometimes. I have tried but keep getting an error message. Have not yet called help desk. If it was a personal computer I would not have the software on there.

I haven't refused but I haven't installed it either - anon

I have received 2 emails telling me I have to do it, which I have ignored. If they push it, I will request a company supplied computer because I refuse to put it on my personal computer.

To the dislike person, why should I put spyware on - my personal computer?

If the company supplies the computer, they can do anything they want to it. This is my personal computer that I paid for, they supplied me a foot pedal and nothing more and have no right to put useless software on my computer that will interfere with it's performance.

I have a feeling the only "person" who would dislike my post stating I refuse to install this would be MModal spy. Clearly they do watch these boards.

They put pressure on me from time to time to install it, but so far I haven't. I don't want it on my computer either. I know there'll eventually be a showdown about it, in which case, if need be, I'll let them fire me. I requested a company computer be sent to me with it already installed, but haven't received any answer regarding that.

My spyware program will not let it install - me

I also use my own computer and when I tried to install it, it was identified as spyware and rejected. I'm not going to disable my antivirus/spyware program to install it.

Did anyone besides myself have an issue with the ihnstallation? I was able to get into Inner Circle without a problem; however, the screen shot sent looks nothing like what I was looking at after logging in. All I had was a long list and upon clicking on any of them, not one thing happened. Hovering over Resources did not do a thing, clicking on any of the tabs did not do a thing. What a pain. Why tell us to contact supervisor if any issues; they're not techs, they don't know wha ...

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this whole issue came around about a year ago, telling us we must install it, and upon looking into it, it was my impression that it would allow MM to track everywhere we go on our computers, so I didn't install it. I asked for a company computer, and the matter was eventually dropped until now. I don't know what to do. ...
