~75 minutes on the $10 hit.

Also looks like we have to wait to be emailed the code? "Thank you for taking the survey. We will be reviewing your responses now to ensure validity. We will then email you a one time use individualized code to input into MTurk to receive payment."

What do you guys think is the best free anti virus software? & what do you think is the best paid one?

I don't use any and then I let my computer get really fucked up before I do battle with the viruses to defeat them on the virtual battlefield that is my computer.

pay careful attention to your window. that is where the carrier pigeon will be arriving with your completion code. if the pigeon doesn't arrive, please send us a carrier pigeon explaining the nature of your technical problem. the study took an hour and 15 mins, but we set the timer to an hour and 20 minutes in case you needed more time.

I had noticed that in the permission page. Another reason I didn't bemoan throwing it back. Requester! This is NOT how you do this!.... This is also probably why there are no reviews yet(ever). It is also suspicious. Many workers won't work under such a condition. It gives the requester too much leeway to refuse to pay--after receiving the data. They are being too careful. So I shall be also.
And another note. What if they get slowed down, or a worker starts the Hit later? There is a time limitation to receiving the code. Then the requester is posed with producing compensation HITs. I've seen this type of thing before and avoided it. And this is why. I may be old, wrinkled and grey, but I ain't dumb.
