OK. First you need to open Avast from start menu, programs avast and take 
this advice from Accessible Devices Avast program page:
How To Make Avast Even More Accessible
do the following two things to make Avast more accessible.

Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface:
1. Start Avast.
2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that 
appears. You should now land on a dummy check box.
3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to settings 
and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the 
categories
tree gaining focus.
4. Tab until you hear, "enable skins for simple user interface check box 
checked". Press space to uncheck it.
5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box.
6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the 
controls in this programme.

Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast:

1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface.
2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager.
3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box.
4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced 
Options dialogue box appears.
5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not 
checked". Press space to check it.
6. Press enter to activate the ok button.
7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or 
press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm 
dialogue
box.
By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS 
stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast.
