Steve,
I replied to this yesterday but haven't seen anyone come back ... Here goes again!
Well, what about the occasions when Eset doesn't deal automatically? Do you hear a message and can you respond to it in a timely manner?
Why do you like Super Anti-spyware? Is it user friendly with Jaws? Anyone else out there like it also or have answers to my questions here. Perhaps you're a fan of another anti-spyware programme. Tell me why you like it and how easy it is to use, please. I need to make decisions on these things and want informed views ... 

Thanks.

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,

All the best

Steve

Hi all,

I posed some questions on the above a little while back but still am
short of a few answers.

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?
