Hi everyone. I'm sorry for all the confusion. I did originally ask about the
AVG free toolbar and whether it would cause problems for Jaws if I installed
it. I'm sorry if I wasn't specific enough at the time.
Cheers.
Geoff

Subject: Re: Questions About AVG 8.0
Hi Chris,
I'm not sure I follow you, but here's what I thought was happening in this
sequence. A person posted a message asking how to deal with the fact that
when he launched AVG's interface, it came up (you can confirm this by
pressing Insert T and hearing the title of the interface) but something was
in the way preventing him accessing the interface, and he had managed to
figure out that pressing Alt Tab would put him in the interface so that he
could access the menu line. Okay? That's for starters.
I wrote back quickly and said not to worry, it's just that a panel comes up
that's essentially a portrait of the system at the moment, with a number of
lines itemizing the program's component's and their states. And that he'd
done the right thing to get around it (after reading through its
information, if he cared to) and gained access to the interface in the way
he'd expected when launching the program.
That was all that happened at first. I was able to explain this because I,
too, have installed this application and I have gained this understanding
after initially being perplexed just as he'd been. BTW, I'm partial and can
actually see that this is a vertical panel that appears over the left side
of the interface window, but disappears when you Alt tab and then you get
just the interface without that overlay.
Then the next person chimes in to express his heartfelt distaste for tool
bars, whether what he imagines to be this one or any other. Malware, he
called it. I can certainly sympathize with that feeling, and try to avoid
allowing anything to install a toolbar by arrangement with Google or anyone
else when the program's installing. No disagreement. But, and this is a big
but, the truth was that he'd jumped to a conclusion and misunderstood what
was being described, and it wasn't a tool bar at all, and it's all okay.
that's what happened. Now it's all settled and the original poster is not
only able to use the program and its menus, but is clear that this was a
design quirk but not a real impediment to using the program. And nothing at
all to do with a tool bar, so far as I understand what I've explained
above.
I hope this is more clear. Thanks.

I find this so strange I had to respond. First of all Chris expressed
his opinion about question 2 of the original post regarding an AVG
Toolbar, which seems totally acceptable to me. Then Yardbird responds
saying the post isn't about a toolbar, when question 2 clearly is, then
Crhis apologises for making a perfectly plausible response. What's
going on?
