Hi, I think that's AVG 8 and not Avast that requires you to unload JAWS, open the user interface, then reload JAWS. Avast has so far not caused crashes when JAWS is running or not. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group? To join, send a blank message to blind-hobbyist-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Jim, you mean if you're running Avast! then each time you want to access its interface to set something or initiate a procedure, you have to exit Jaws, then possibly use a hotkey to launch the interface, then launch jaws, and then Jaws will enable you to navigate and use its menus and stuff? Thatsounds like a big hassle, but I suppose if Avast! is supposed to run without needing your attention for a year at a time, I guess once you get it set upand underway, you probably don't have to mess with it very much anyway.

Everyone says it's so screen reader-unfriendly that they're all switching to Avast!
