Hi. I have AVG 9.0 free on my computer. I've heard it's accessible, and it is 
to a certain extent, but it's all jaws cursor. Is that how it's supposed to be? 
I'd ask about it slowing down jaws, but I think that's just because it makes 
the entire computer crawl.

I've also heard about MS Essentials. Some of you have recommended it. I tried 
it on my laptop when one care was discontinued, but windows security didn't 
seem to recognize that there was protection on the computer and kept giving me 
warnings. I've a desktop now, windows XP, jaws 10, and I just wanted to know 
before I made a decision to either switch AVG scans to late at night when they 
won't interfere with me or to switch completely to ms essentials, is that 
normal? For the windows security manager not to recognize ms essentials? Does 
it run that quietly? And how do I know for certain that it's working if I keep 
getting warnings?

Thanks so much.

Sam
