Encore Viewer - I "killed" my computer - can't find the disc

Post by snoozysue » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:49 am

Much to the disgust and disbelief of my two IT System Administrator sons I managed to download some amazing virus that they could not completely "kill".
I have had to have my computer reformatted and goodness knows what else. I have no idea where I have put my purchased copy of Encore Viewer ($100 in Australia).
Is it possible to download it from "somewhere" or do I need to search to find the original disc.
Thanks
Sue

Well if your not afraid of torrents you can just type into Google "Respironics Torrents" and you will see it show up. I think that is the only way to download it from the net.

I would not use any "Torrents" for downloading ANYTHING. I'm in the software business, there are a lot of "hacks" out there for our software and I know for a fact that some of those hacks include viruses embedded by the hacker. To get it this way is asking to have a nasty virus put right back on your computer.

very very correct. you may download a million torrents, but it only takes one to ruin your day completely. these cpap programs are too widely available from safe places to mess with maybe stuff.

I won't use Torrents either.
What I offer are either from manufacturer site or a known safe site or my own files hosted somewhere and I would never sneak a bad bug into things even if I knew how (and I don't)

I use Torrents, 24/7, it does take a few smarts and I wear protection. The torrents you get for Encore have, many redirected to sale sites that don't have what you want. To use torrents safely, you need to protect your computer and use providers that have good reps.... Jim
