    "Requesting virus scan" slows pc?

    I have seen this happen with AVG. There is a setting to turn off the request of virus scans of all programs and documents?

I had asked for more money, and should receive it in October. Also, they are paying for my Masters Degree, which will amount to 20,000 over two...

    Willir.. I like you quote - "in a past life, a very senior manager once asked me why he should pay me because there were very few problems. My reply was one word "exactly" - this inferred the reason there were no apparent problems was because I was very proactive in fixing problems before...

    OnyxPurr... Yes it should be give and take.. but not taken advantage off by either party. Normally when you are salary, there is no such thing as overtime pay, and quiet honestly, if someone is working 60 plus hours a week, when are they going to have the time to utilize comp time? In my...

    user not cooperating

    svanels They have no idea. The President of the company can't check his email without help. My boss breaks every rule, even after I stressed and stressed again the importance of not doing the things they do. I just sent out an article from Windows IT regarding spyware and the dangers. I...

    user not cooperating

    VBmim... I run into the simular situation at my office quite frequently. Do a search on the web. There is many good articles about the liability of employers and what is on THEIR computers. Stress the point, the computers are company property, not the employees, the data that is on the...

    Willir, Hire? now that's funny. Not intended towards you but my mangement. Example, I'm working on the Win2K3 conversion. I got a quote to have it outsourced to a local company to do after hours, so I wouldn't have to work the overtime. My boss and I quote "I don't know how long I am going to...

    Lang.. Our accounting package at teh Corp office is currently running under Access. It is getting to large and I need to run it under SQL. I could be wrong, but I believe SQL will not run on Netware. Additionally, the server is very antiquated, and is running low on resources. So, it seemed...

    Shannan... Wow... sounds a lot like my position. I recently told them they I cannot work any more OT without compensation, either money or comp time. I've been with the company for 10 years, always put in the extra time for the best interest of the company. I recently found out what someone...

    Resumes are flying... I'm going to start using my time to learn what I can, instead of puting out fires. Let's take yesterday for example. 8 hour work day, including lunch. 32 phone calls, the day before 24 calls. and I'm suppose to be preparing to migrate a novell server to Win2K3? Which is...

    All I have to say is.. Wow, I'm not the only one. I just went nose to nose on my boss about this one. I've been with my current company ten years. Preety much the only IT guy. I answer call all day and expect to do everything else after hours. I did some research and found I am underpaid...
