Unfortunately, the scripts for Spyware Blaster do not work with JAWS 10, so pressing Control-Shift-H will not bring up the list of functions. If you want to use this program, you have to use JAWS 9 or earlier. Unless the SB scripts are updated to make SB accessible with JAWS 10, you're out of luck.

As for Super Anti Spyware, I never had a problem with it using JAWS 10. I always perform a complete scan, so maybe the problem you are experiencing occurs only with the quick scan function. Be sure you are using the latest version of SAS, which is 4.21.0.1004. .

Subject: Jaws 10 and spyware misbehavior


I've just installed Jaws 10 and now have two anti-spyware gglitches.

1. When I launch Spyware Blaster, Jaws announces its name but then doesn't
speak the command for opening the commands list that allows you to operate
the program. Dead silence. Useless.
2. Super Anti Spyware behaved strangely when I tried to scan with it. After just a couple of seconds, it asked if I really wanted to cancel the scan, or
words to that effect. If I pressed enter on no, it did the same as when I
pressed Enter on Yes. The scan sopped, said it was complete, and no further
information was given. Users of this program will know that it doesn't
ordinarily work this way at all. I tried scanning a couple of time, but the
same thing kept happening.

Now, please, before kindly providing the names of other anti spyware
software to recommend, can someone respond to these questions? Thanks very
much.
