Hi,
I don't usually throw my two cents worth in on things like this, but
curiosity got the better of me this time. I hadn't heard of Super Anti
Spyware. I'm a big fan of Spybot, which I've taught many JAWS users to
navigate. The website for Super Anti Spyware indicates that is both a
free and a pro (paid for) version. I'm pasting the link to the page
containing the comparison of what each does below:
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html
Spyware is such an annoyance that you don't want to simply select the
easiest product to use, you want to use the one that will prevent such
files from attaching themselves to your system and interfering with your
ability to use it. I'm not claiming to be an expert here, but if a free
version of the program only claims to check threats and clean them once
they are there, but can't prevent their entry, it seems not to be as
useful as other types of programs that do provide immunization from
threats coming in for the same free price. I haven't used Ad Aware in a
while, so I won't comment on its usefulness or the free vs. paid
versions, but it is probably worth looking at as well. Sometimes I
find that it is a matter of learning the keyboard shortcuts and the
logic of a program that is the difference between saying it is not
accessible with JAWS and saying it is.
Again, just my two cents worth on this in hopes that people will always
question things and investigate for themselves before taking all advice
at face value.

Hi, I would go with Super Antispyware. It's more accessible than
Spybot, and is faster than Spybot too. Go to www.superantispyware.com
and download their free edition. Hope that helps.
