Navicure Updates Needed

Please update your eTHOMAS program NOW! Navicure has made updates, so you need to too! You need to update prior to March 1, 2016 Navicure has changed how it will process eligibility, so it was necessary for us to make updates to THOMAS as well, to keep up with their new processes. If you do not update your eTHOMAS program, prior to March 1, 2016, we fully expect your eligibility to stop working. Please take time to back up, then update your eTHOMAS program by the end of this month. Then you should have no transition whatsoever - it's already been done for you. Simply Genius! Thanks for being a Genius client and letting us serve you. Sincerely, — Genius Solutions, Inc.

Microsoft Security Essentials Causing eTHOMAS Issues

It appears that Microsoft did some updating and it is causing many of you problems.  Clients running Microsoft Security Essentials might have your eTHOMAS icon missing or you are getting a message when trying to start eTHOMAS saying "Can't Run eTHOMAS".  The problems seems to be that MS Security Essentials is quarantining your program as a virus.  The support lines are being swamped.  To get back up and running we have created a step-by-step document for you that will allow you to exclude eTHOMAS' eclient from the antivirus program.

If you are still having problems after, please call in and we'll get to you as soon as possible.
