Anti-virus?

Woollcott asked:


I bought a computer last Christmas at Best Buy. I agreed to buy their “Security package” (which included Norton) for an extra charge. Today I got a pop-up on my screen which seemed to be for an up-date. What it really was – they (Norton) got me to uninstall their anti-virus. Now I’m searching for another anti- virus. I was told that I had a year’s subscription when I bought the security package. But the anti-virus program lasted only a little more than two months. Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do next?

Medical Expert Software

Marcus Peterson asked:




There is an array of expert system software available with lists and clinical descriptions. They are based on the analysis of the patient’s symptoms. Easy Diagnosis is one such software that focuses on the most common medical complaints that are responsible for most hospital visits. The people who subscribe to this service and install the software are given a list of likely diagnoses. This helps a layman, as he does not have to go through all the various reference material on the Internet or in medical reference books. The patient also gets references to useful articles on medical controversies and other important health concerns.

Expert Software Consulting offers an amalgamation of consulting and software services to plan the kind of software one requires. This is very useful to the various companies promoting this software. Medisoft and Altapoint are software used by medical professionals and billing centers nationwide for medical insurance, patient accounting and their management. Sunrise is an organization promoting such billing software. They have installed and maintain over 3136 software installations nationwide. Their staff is well trained and can assist the customer in choosing the right software.

It is important to remember that the software is only as good as the support that the company provides. It is advisable to weigh all the pros and cons prior, as such medical expert software is quite expensive.
