[nvda] Re: avast/avg 8

Hi.
Anti Vir. You know about that one already though don't you? Try googling it. I haven't tried running NVDA with it yet, but it seams to be working nicely enough. Sometimes mine crashes when I close the main window, but the service for checking viruses and stuffs continues to run, so I think even though the enterface crashes like that the program itself is still functioning. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Gaff" <bglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Subject: [nvda] avast/avg 8
I notice avg 7.5 free is being cut loose at the end of the month. Is there a chance that nvda can access the bits it has problems with now, like the main screen interface so we can see what the scan has reported?
I find it still flaky on other screenreaders in that it has false positives. The most annoying being the deletion as spyware of files from Jaws according to a friend, causing it to fall over. It works sort of in hal, but still flags up bits of Office XP reg entries as dangerous objects.
Avast is a nightmare in nvda. I cannot seem to even access anything but the html screen and certainly cannot now figure out how to uninstall the beast!
Such is life. Any other free anti virus program around which is easy to use and understand and works?
