You'd need sighted assistance as you won't have speech as the sound drivers won't load. Press F8 repeatidly just as windows is about to start loading. A menu will come up giving the option of going in to safe mode. Then try uninstalling from programmes and features or add and remove programmes depending on which flabour of windows your using.
From what you said though it should all be working fine with JAWS. What exactly are you having problems with?

What version of JAWS are you using? I’m just surprised your finding it completely inaccessible.

Once I bring up the AVAST interface I just tab around and almost everything is self explanitary. To change tabs just tab to the tab heading then use CTRL TAB etc. For some reason ctrl tab doesn’t work unless you are on the tab heading, but it does work. So far I haven’t found any settings I can’t access or where I’ve had to use the JAWS cursor.
As for uninstalling AVAST, previously that has been very difficult.

I use it on all my machines and I'm very satisfied with it.
Donald Wardlow said the following on 26.4.2011. 9:21:To my knowledge, Avast is not accessible to any version of JAWS. I use it, but let my wife run it, since she can see.
