AVG is perfectly accessible out of the box, too, and what this person's 
complaining about doesn't happen to everyone. I've used AVG Free Edition 
over several versions, for years, and have never had my composition or 
reading of emails been interfered with by AVG describing what it's doing to 
scan that stuff as it goes. It may be that those messages, which I'm 
supposing appear onscreen but aren't much of a bother to a sighted user, 
could be silenced by adjusting something that's affecting Jaws's focus. But 
maybe someone else knows for sure. But you certainly don't have to disable 
your email scanning capability. Maybe it's what someone else said, that you 
go into a properties dialogue and uncheck notification. Maybe that turns off 
these messages, which are meant to be reassuring but obviously aren't very 
much fun for a Jaws user who has to hear them. :-)

it's just a better program.

  So if you turn this feature off do you still get protection? I have the 
paid version of AVG and am disappointed and annoyed at the interference this 
program causes while I read e-mail, work and try to use my computer.  When 
e-mail is being scanned I cannot read my other mail.  If I am working I get 
all the messages that it is updating or scanning and I cannot continue until 
I press okay or close. So maybe there is also a place to check to have it 
run in the background instead of interfering with everything else.  Anyone 
know?
  Thanks
  Barbara

    Yes.



    In AVG, go to control system and hit the space bar.

    Tab to the list menu and arrow to e-mail scanner.

    Tab to properties and activate it.

    Tab to configure and activate it.

    Tab to turn on notification (or something like that) and uncheck it (I 
believe it is the second tab).

    Tab to okay

    Which appears at the end of incoming E-mails?  I'm using the free 
version and thought I had E-mail scanning turned off.  Thank you.
