MSE works with all versions of XP and JAWS 9, and MS has no plans to charge for
it. It is now probably the best freeJAWS-accessible anti-virus program
available.

Hello Friends,
Does Microsoft Security Essentials, work with XP-Home and JAWS version 9.0156?
If so, it sounds pretty good.
However I wonder if it will be "free" forever?
I mean, is this one of those things, that are like a teaser or such?
Best Regards,

Hi Gerald,
That's good to know. Frankly, I'm really surprised to hear that the
Microsoft package outscored Nod32. Do you know the URL where I can download
it? I'll pass it along to people I know, and I'll keep it for reference when
my Nod32 license runs out, which will be early next year. Thanks.

NOD32 is a good anti-virus program, but in a recent test, it was
outscored by Microsoft Security Essentials, which is free and completely JAWS
accessible. Like NOD32, it is totally unobtrusive and updates its malware
definitions automatically. The only time you are aware of it is when it
detects a threat, at which point you can choose to quarantine it or remove it
completely. It's so easy even a caveman could use it.

Hi Robert,
I've got Nod32 version 2.7 and have kept it updated with all the
latest definitions and such. I like it because it's so unobtrusive; the only
time I hear anything from it is when the definitions get updated. Other than
that, I pretty much forget about it.
Are you using a later version? How's the interface, is it accessible?
I'd heard that version 3.0 had some accessibility issues, so I'd avoided it
until I could find out how well it works. Thanks.

If you want something that works quietly in the background get
Nod32.

Can anyone suggest a good anti-virus program that works well with
Jaws 11?
