[JAWSLite] Re: Trend Micro

Hello Rose,
I think that the suggestion for you to try AVG free antivirus is a good one. I am not familiar with the Trend Micro security suite, but the company has been around for years and have usually put out good products. Remember that in a security suite you probably get a program for spyware protection besides the antivirus program and possibly a firewall. If you are using a broadband connection you will want a firewall such as the free Zone Alarm. Of course your router might have an adequate hardware firewall and Vista's firewall is definitely an improvement from the one in XP. For spyware protection you might consider Spybot Search and Destroy. Version 1.5 of the program is quite accessible. Spybot has a T-timer process that runs in the background that you might want to disable if you are bothered by being told about every little change that occurs with your system, but it can be disabled simply by being unchecked in the configuration utility as a start up process. These programs usually require more manual operation than complete suites that you might buy, but they are free.

Subject: [JAWSLite] Trend Micro



Is anyone using Trend Micro security suite!
My husband put it on my laptop when my Norton ran out because I did not want 
to use 2007 or 2008.  I don't connect the laptop to the net very often
because I am using it to store and work with some electronic medical word
books, dictionaries and the like.
However, this morning it kept telling me Jaws was a threat, I could not get to the system tray, the desktop tray, and my number pad was disabled, could not use right and left arrow keys. Finally, because the wireless is turned 
off, I uninstalled it so I could access the materials I needed.

He put it on my desktop here at home and so far, knock on wood, that seems
to be working but, I am not sure how to use it, how to convince it that Jaws 
is indeed a program I want to be there and I cannot work with half my
keyboard not functioning when it works fine when the program is not
installed.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Other suggestions for security software would also be appreciated.
