$5.7 Trillion Cost of Twelve Worst Consumer Mistakes Is Exposed

$5.7 Trillion Cost of Twelve Worst Consumer Mistakes Is Exposed

The twelve most disastrous mistakes American consumers have been researched and ranked by a consumer advocate. Their total estimated cost amounts to a staggering $5.7 trillion per year. Money management mistakes account for approximately one trillion dollars of this total while disastrous personal decisions including medical and safety mistakes cost another $2.2 trillion. Crime at $2.5 trillion is the biggest problem, including fraud and the failure of consumers to protect themselves adequately.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 27, 2007

What are the twelve most disastrous mistakes American consumers make?

One consumer advocate has researched and ranked them. Their total estimated cost amounts to a staggering $5.7 trillion per year. Astonishingly, that averages out to a yearly dollar drain of $19,000 for every man, woman and child.

The shocking facts are exposed in "The 12 Biggest Consumer Goofs," a new Special Report from the Consumer Freedom Alliance. It ranks the most damaging mistakes being made by American consumers, based on the best available estimates from a variety of consumer organizations and governmental agencies.

"These mistakes account for a little over one half of America's $11 trillion GNP, making these mistakes a virtual must-know for all Americans" commented CFA president David Snell. "Consumers can tremendously benefit in many areas, from crime prevention to career advancement."

According to this report, money management mistakes account for approximately one trillion dollars of the total. Disastrous personal decisions including medical and safety mistakes cost consumers $2.2 trillion yearly. Crime is the biggest problem, including fraud and the failure of consumers to protect themselves adequately: Its yearly cost is a whopping $2.5 trillion. "Inevitably this type of study requires some approximations, but the overall conclusions are not in any serious doubt" said Snell.

Multiple Health Studies Suggest a Link Between Pregnant Women Taking Prescription Antidepressants and Birth Defects

Multiple Health Studies Suggest a Link Between Pregnant Women Taking Prescription Antidepressants and Birth Defects.

To support mothers and their babies adversely affected by antidepressant medication, LawyersandSettlements. com promotes free case evaluations from leading law firms

Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) February 16, 2006

New medical research shows that women taking antidepressants, such as Prozac or Paxil, while pregnant may increase health risks of their unborn baby. Alleged health problems of babies exposed to SSRI antidepressants include heart defects, congenital malformations, pulmonary hypertension, and drug-withdrawal symptoms.

Paxil, one of the most widely prescribed SSRI antidepressants has been under attack by medical professionals as the FDA released information of increased heart defects in babies when their mothers had taken Paxil during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study involved more than 3,500 pregnant women.

Other studies have analyzed multiple antidepressants to further examine the possible link to birth defects. Commonly prescribed SSRI Antidepressants include: Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Celexa (citalopram), Effexor (venlafaxine), Lexapro (escitalopram). In the past, some SSRI drugs have been associated with increasing suicidal tendencies in patients.

InstallFree 7bridge Solves Application Compatibility Issues on Windows 7

InstallFree 7bridge Solves Application Compatibility Issues on Windows 7

Newest Product Addresses Biggest Customer Challenge in Windows 7 Migration by Preparing Applications for Rapid Deployment

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) June 14, 2010

InstallFree, Inc. (http://www. installfree. com/), a leading developer of desktop application virtualization and management solutions, today announced InstallFree 7bridge, its newest product designed to meet the demand for help with application compatibility issues on Windows 7 (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5j5oELalNzc). With 7bridge, customers can have their mission-critical applications packaged and prepared for Windows 7 deployment by InstallFree, dramatically accelerating their implementation. Customers can later upgrade to the full InstallFree Bridge product, and expand their use of the technology to reduce the overall cost and complexity of desktop application management.

The core application virtualization technology in 7bridge eliminates desktop and web application compatibility issues, including conflicts with legacy Java applications (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=lV9pJZ9ZBds&feature=player_embedded) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=XUk0dMHLygY&feature=player_embedded) on Windows 7.

InstallFree 7bridge is the only solution on the market today that can seamlessly run incompatible XP applications on Windows 7 — without requiring application reprogramming, or costly infrastructure and VM management. The InstallFree 7bridge is immediately available and customers can register for the solution on the 7bridge web site (http://www. migrate2win7.com/).

“We had terrific customer response earlier this year to our limited offer of application packaging with the purchase of the InstallFree Bridge product. It validated our view that customers have an urgent need to ease the immediate pain in Windows 7 migration, which is application compatibility,” said Yori Gabay, CEO at InstallFree. “It’s a market gap that InstallFree is uniquely positioned to fulfill, because our technology is designed to solve the root causes of application compatibility issues: system and component dependencies, operating system security and Internet Explorer conflicts. InstallFree 7bridge will stand apart in the market as a product that lets customers solve their critical problems right away. Instead of dealing with application packaging, they can simply specify their top incompatible applications, and let us prepare the applications for immediate deployment.”

Recent analyst research has reported application compatibility issues as one of the largest problems in Windows 7 migrations. Estimates vary by organization, but can range as high as 50% of deployed applications. The InstallFree 7bridge application virtualization solution can provide immediate resolution and does not require undertaking an expansive IT virtualization initiative.

“Application virtualization helps streamline PC application deployment, and can help address packaging and application coexistence problems in most organizations,” said Terrence Cosgrove, senior analyst at Gartner. “The technology can help solve tactical problems, such as specific application conflict issues or browser compatibility problems, but can also ultimately improve overall desktop application delivery and management”. [See: “Immature Desktop Management Groups Benefit Most From Application Virtualization,” by Terrence Cosgrove, May 13, 2010.

Many IT organizations are finding out that application compatibility issues are causing their Windows 7 migration projects to delay or fail. InstallFree enables IT to get out of the “application repackaging business” by creating isolated, modular and portable virtual applications that can run on any version of Windows and be updated on-the-fly. InstallFree Virtual Applications seamlessly integrate into the end-user’s environment and fully communicate with the OS and other applications without making any changes to the underlying OS file system or registry. They enable full end-user productivity in locked-down PC environments and create a fully portable end-user environment that can be easily migrated between computers and operating systems.

InstallFree | Designed for Users. Built for IT

InstallFree is a leading developer of application compatibility and portability solutions to help customers accelerate the adoption of new operating systems and applications, resolve conflicts and reduce the cost and complexity of delivering and managing their desktop applications. InstallFree stands alone in offering a virtualization approach that creates modular desktop elements that can be independently packaged, managed, configured and updated while leveraging the customer’s existing IT infrastructure.

InstallFree has technology alliance partnerships with BigFix, BMC Software and Red Hat, and solution partners serving the education, healthcare, financial services and the public sector.
