Hello List,
when this happens, what do you do? Can you escape out of the pop-up?
Can you still somehow access your thumb drive (I rarely, but sometimes
use one I know is safe)?
Can the internet security sections be adjusted so the antivirus still
works but the highly restrictive and possibly inaccessible portions are
disabled until the issue can be fixed?
I am learning NVDA and plan to get Kaspersky in april for my Win 7 and
Win 10 machines so I hope it is resolved. I do not use twitter and
being new to Kaspersky am not looking forward to issues when I won't
even be used to the program.
Are there any Window-eyes users having the same issue?
thanks for any help/input.

As I am a Kaspersky user I find this of particular interest. I am not seeing this behavior but I am not using any of the Internet security packages. I'm using Kaspersky Antivirus 17.0.0.611D, Windows 10 with NVDA 2017.1. I'm wondering if the options are appearing in the Windows action center, rather than a separate window? That's just a guess, however. If you press the Windows key with the letter A is the message from Kaspersky in that list?
I would encourage you to contact them about this, especially via Twitter.

I also tried it with NVDA with the same results. I will see what narrator does tonight but I’m expecting the results to be the same.

Hi,
Yes sir I’ve noted this for about the past week or so with JFW 17 and NVDA under Windows 10 and wondered what precipitated the change as it displeases and worries me. I switched from Vipre to Kaspersky due to the promise of better accessibility once installed so to see it potentially take a hit is a bit disquieting.

Hi,
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2017, KIS 17. Beginning very recently the notifications that popped up when something needed permission such as a thumb drive was inserted or an audio stream was accessed beyond the usual security setting, was changed so that it is no longer possible to just tab through the options and tap space on the button to either allow or not allow whatever your choice is for any given situation. I am not sure if this sudden and recent change has occurred because of Windows or because of Kaspersky. I am using windows 10 and Jaws 18 with KIS 17. I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this decreased accessibility with any other configuration of PC, screen reader, and Kaspersky product? I know two others with my configuration who are having the same issue.
Merv
