Hello all,
A few days ago I posted to list the below query about an application
called "Raven" which appeared to have downloaded to my computer. So after
doing some research, it is likely that this is an adware application. It is
also likely to have downloaded when I installed a Java application from
Oracle 10 days ago, so I could participate in a webinar and use the
associated applications for that. One of the other applications that
downloaded when I downloaded Java was one called Amazon Consultant. it is
extremely annoying and attaches to your browser, and even when you
uninstall it from programs under control panel, it just returns when you
reboot the computer. I have uninstalled it again and again and again and it
says it's been removed, then it comes back. As for the raven application,
it brings up a pop up each time it comes across certain words when you are
typing an email or browsing. JAWS does not pick up what ever ad it is
generating, so all you hear is "raven" and JAWS stops talking. Oracle is
widely used by people who use screen readers and other access products,
so I thought I would put this alert on list I do not know what I can do to
fix these issues, and others that have cropped up since downloading Java
from the Oracle site. you can read a little about it on this link:

If anyone has any tips on how to resolve the issues,that would be great: I
tried system restore already.
Cheers,
Gisele

Hello all,
For some days now when I am using Outlook, I Hear JAWS say "raven" and I
lose focus from the message window when I am typing a message. It appears
that a pop-up message comes up with that word "raven". I have Googled for
information about this and it appears to be an app of some sort, but I did
not download it (unless it downloaded with some other application). It's
quite annoying. Any clues? I am using a desktop computer, Win 7, JAWS 18
and Outlook 2003.
