Press letter "C". Now you will be instantly dropped into the "perform a boot time scan" dialogue box. 3. Tab and press spacebar on the "scan archeive files checkbox", tab again and check the advanced checkbox, tab again and down arrow once to delete infected files, press tab key once more to allow delete or move system filesand down arrow once to this choice. Note:When you down arrow on this last box a warning may appear, just hit on the ok button or yes. 4. Now tab over to the schedule button and press spacebar. Your laptop will shutdown and then reboot where upon rebooting it will perform a thorough scan of your hard drive. Note: before you hit spacebar on that schedule button, just tab across all the previous settings again and make sure those checkboxes are checked as they behave a bit strange with jaws and don't always give you accurate readings as to if they are checked properly or not. Good luck, Paul.

I followed your steps and was doing great as far as cancel memory scan and after pressing the applications key my jaws just refused to read menus, it just kept saying context menu. i'm working off jaws 5 something, so could it be a case that this version of jaws isn't accessible with avast. I would doubt that I have any virus or should I say my laptop hasn't got a virus as I have a head cold but would just like to run a scan to be on the safe side, if only I could run one on myself. yours Jackie ******************************************************************** NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
