Commercial Ads playing in background... - Frustrated


Posted: Jun 05, 2015

I've been having this problem recently. Whenever I'm on computer, whether it be looking at a website, reading email, etc., I will intermittently have commercial ads (audio) play in the background. I've had my ISP do tune-ups and malaware/virus removal twice in the last two days. Today, after being on Internet for 30 minutes, there it was again; a commercial for ice cream. How can I work listening to dictations with commercials playing at the same time? Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it? If the experts can't fix it, what do I do? Buy another computer? Thank you.

...and found this info:

"Download & run Kaspersky's TDSSKILLER. You will most likely find a rootkit (Rootkit.Boot.Pihar.c). It is what keeps creating the fake svchost.exe file."

A couple of folks responded to that saying it worked like a charm.

New Commercial Regarding Workers' Rights & IC Status
Aug 26, 2010

I live in California and just now my husband called my attention to the TV. Sokolove Law LLC (ambulance chasers, usually one of those "If you or someone you know has taken the drug..." commercials) is advertising for anyone being hired as an independent contractor yet treated as an employee with an expected scheduled, etc., should call them to pursue their legal entitlements. Once the pharmaceutical ambulance chasers get on the subject of IC versus employee, I have a suspicion things are gonna ...

Not Playing This Game
Mar 16, 2010

I've been reading all the posts on here, I have read the emails from Medquist. I don't do this job for fun.  I do it to get paid.  If I have to spend all my time looking up old reports and trying to figure out what this doctor mumbled or that one said when his head was underwater, my line counts will go down...meaning less pay. And yet if I send blanks to the client that get audited and THEY think I could have found the information, I go back on 100% QA... hence less pay. ...

.wav Files Not Playing In Express Scribe, WMP, Etc.
Apr 23, 2013

Real Player isn't.   I have renamed them, and downloaded updated drivers for my sound card. I have tried multiple computers.  Another MT on the account is having the same issue.   Any other thoughts or suggestions on this?  MTSO is able to play them okay on her wave player. & ...


Playing MP3 Files On Express Scribe

Hello All, I am hoping someone might have some quick help for me. I have just started a new account, did a test file last night, downloaded an MP3 file to Express Scribe. This is my first experience with MP3 files. Tonight I am starting actual work for this new company, did all that I did last night in terms of downloading and ES acts as though it is playing but I am getting no sound. A little window is now open on express scribe that I have never seen before and it has two channels listed. Can ...

Does anyone know if companies typically call your former employers for background checks?  I have jumped around a lot in the last several years for various reasons, and still looking for the right fit, but have applied to 10 different companies in 2 weeks and have only heard from 2. I'm wondering if my resume and recent work history is the problem. I'm an MT of 8 years, so lack fo experience is not the problem. Maybe it's the time of year? If I don't find something soon, ...

Background Check For Coders

I was wondering about what on a background check would prohibit one from getting a job as a coder at a hospital.  I know the obvious, but what about a misdemeanor DUI from the late 1980s on an otherwise clean-as-a-whistle record with someone who has great credit to boot?  Would that be a deal breaker?  The applicant would have the preferred credentials in place and would otherwise be a good candidate.     ...
