Hi Carol, For the most part, Eset is automatic. You will rarely see it block stuff unless it thinks it is suspicious. It doesn't work like other firewalls, and block everything, unless you specifically tell it to. For spyware, now I like Super Antispyware, http://www.superantispyware.com.

First, if I get any incoming traffic that hasn't already been given permission, is there a good message which comes up on screen and is this easily dealt with, to say "Yes" or "No" using Jaws or any other screen reader? (I have used firewalls in the past which have been a pain in this respect.) Second, do I still need a separate program to deal with spyware? If so, what's recommended currently? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
