Hi David: How are you? I have not tried Avast, but hear that it works pretty well with JAWS. If you have JAWS 9 with all updates, I suggest downloading AVG 8 at free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe. With JAWS 9 and all updages, AVG 8 is pretty accessible and it offers not only virus, but spyware protection. I've been using it at home for about two weeks now and absolutely love it as it has helped sped my 5+ year old Dell computer up noticeably.

HI have you tried avast? This is an antivirus program. It can be found at www.savemybutt.com go to downloads and look for avast. If you need an antispyware program i'd like to suggest supper antispyware. This program works great, and while i'm thinking of programs that you can use with jaws, try advanced windows care. I hope this helps. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
