hi Paul,
success, my virus volt is empty. thank you once again.
must tell you a funny thin that happened whilst doing this, when it came to
the hitting of the third key right of the space bar sure enough I heard the
click you told us to listen for, then I heard a bleeping noise that was
coming every couple of seconds, o no I said to myself what have I done wrong
now, then with sudden relief I realized it was coming from the dustbin lorry
reversing up in to our culdesac.

>> Recently on here Susan asked if I could post steps to checking the
>> Avast Virus Chest, which is the same as the AVG Virus Vault. Here is
>> how to proceed to check and then remove those nasties from your
>> Avast Virus Chest.
>>
>> Note: It was only in versions of jaws 6.x and later that we were able
>> to access the Avast menu and its various options such as getting into
>> the virus chest. If you have earlier versions of jaws then the below
>> instructions may not work.
>>
>> Window eyes users, I have version 6.0 of window eyes and this worked
>> great for me using the below instructions.
>>
>> (Checking the virus chest)
>>
>> Step 1.
>> Go to the desktop and press the letter "A" till you hear jaws say
>> "Avast".
>> Then press the enter key.
>>
>> Step 2.
>> What happens when you have pressed the enter key is that Avast opens
>> up and does a short memory scan of your computer as a precaution. If
>> you tab key you will encounter a "stop scan button" so hit the
>> spacebar on this.
>>
>> Step 3. Once the memory scan has stopped you can tab once more and
>> jaws should say something like its notifying you that it is placed on
>> a checkbox, when you hear this stop tabbing and also ignore this
>> particular checkbox as it is just something other than what we are
>> interested in here however we use it as a kind of marker so we know we
>> are in the correct position to begin our maintenance work.
>>
>> Step 4.
>> Now press the "windows key" third out from right side of spacebar. You
>> should hear a kind of click like a switch and also a menu opens up
>> with all the options we need in it.
>>
>> Step 5.
>> Arrow down through this menu till you come to the virus chest and
>> press the enter key.
>>
>> Step 6.
>> The virus chest will open up and if there are viruses in here then it
>> will read them for you by using your arrow keys.
>>
>> Step 7.
>> If you have determined that there are viruses in the chest, you will
>> want to remove them completely. Just use keys "control + letter A" to
>> select all then hit the "delete key" on your keyboard and you will be
>> asked if you are sure you wish to remove them, just tab key to "yes or
>> ok" and hit the enter key. Now a close button will come up so just hit
>> the enter key on it also.
>>
>> Step 8.
>> The virus chest is now empty, so just use keys "alt + F4" to close the
>> virus chest and again, "alt + F4" to close Avast and you're done.
>>
>> Good luck and report back to the list anyone using this anti virus
>> program.
>>
>> Paul.
