Michael,
There are a lot of possible variables to your situation.
Regarding Reaper's inability to load, have you tried loading it with another
screen reader to see if you might be able to read the screen and possibly
detect an error message? I've never used JAWS with Kaspersky but I have used it
with NVDA, with a reasonable amount of success when using NVDA's object
navigation commands.
It's hard to say whether Kaspersky is responsible for slowing down your
performance with Outlook 2016. Kaspersky does have email scanning capabilities
and you could go into the settings and disable all of the program's email
features to see if performance improves. The settings app is somewhat to
reasonably accessible using NVDA, although some aspects of it are very tricky
to use and it may take some time and patience to master it. In particular, some
of the sliders contained within the settings app don't appear to be adequately
labeled.
I recently wrote a detailed review of Kaspersky's accessibility with NVDA. It's
certainly not intended to be a users' guide but it may give you some tips on
navigating the program if you're new to it. If you haven't already read it, the

Beyond that, I'll help you when I can but I may not be able to provide detailed
responses until the weekend.

I just bought a laptop with windows 10 and I have a free year of Kaspersky. I
am finding some real big problems for me.
I am in the middle of a course that uses a conference software. I might have
solved that problem though I don’t know how. It had to do with blocking audio.
Now what I did there to fix that appears to have messed up the reason for the
course Reper which is a recording software. Reaper was working fine and now it
won’t even load. I’m quite sure Kaspersky is behind this and jaws won’t read
the screen.
I also find that my email (outlook 2016) runs much slower on this new machine
than my old one. Again I don’t know if this is Kaspersky or not.
Can anyone please help me.
Thank you
Michael
