There are things you can do with avast and jaws that help jaws read it better. 
I'm pasting the instructions below:

How To Make Avast Even More AccessibleHow To Make Avast Even More Accessible
do the following two things to make Avast more accessible.

Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface:
1. Start Avast.
2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that 
appears. You should now land on a dummy check box.
3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to settings 
and 
press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the categories 
tree gaining focus.
4. Tab until you hear, "enable skins for simple user interface check box 
checked". Press space to uncheck it.
5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box.
6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the controls 
in this programme.
Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast:
1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface.
2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager.
3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box.
4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced Options 
dialogue box appears.
5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not 
checked". 
Press space to check it.
6. Press enter to activate the ok button.
7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or press 
alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm dialogue box.
By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS 
stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast.

  Turn right, then go straight!

           Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)

  11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the 
  Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to 
  give you hope in your final outcome.

       12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, 
  and I will hear and heed you.

       13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital 
  necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)

       14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you 
  from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places 
  to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back 
  to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
