Hi All:

I'm using JAWS 11, but was working with someone over JAWS Tandem this morning 
using JAWS 10.  She didn't have any type of antivirus program on her computer 
from what I could tell, so, I went to the internet through her computer and 
attempted to download AVG Free 9.0.

I went to free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe.  I selected the 'Download from AVG 
Servers' link.  After the file downloaded, I located it and pressed enter on it.

What came up is an AVG download Manager.  I first needed to select the language 
for the download, English was the default, so I tabbed over to the next button 
and pressed enter.

On the next screen, I was presented with two options, either to install AVG 
Free or the more comprehensive AVG which would run freee for 30 days.  My 
client wanted the AVG Free edition, so I attempted to locate the place to check 
that, assuming it was probably a radio button.  I could not tab to the place I 
needed to check.  I could not find it using the JAWS Cursor, and I could not 
find it using my Braille Display which was showing everything off my client's 
computer.  Unless I can check that properly, I can't press the next button.  I 
had to tell my client to get sighted help to install this.

The file I downloaded was AVG943free or something like that.  Has anyone been 
able to install this using this download manager successfully using JAWS?  If 
so, what's the magic trick?

Thanks,
