[JAWSLite] Re: Problems with Vista andJAWS 9

Nothing except you raise your risk of exposure to malware slightly.

The idea is that you'll suddenly see a question asking for permision to
run some software, and you'll know it's not due to anything you did, so
you'll deny permision and thus save yourself from a virus or spyware.

In my opinion most users, even knowledgible ones, won't ever be sure if
the question arises from something legit they've done or not, so I don't
think it's at all useful.
