Hi,
I downloaded a trial of Eset Smart Security and am struggling a bit.
Can anyone who uses it give me any tips? I'm using JAWS and realize I
have to use the JAWS cursor but I find it doesn't always behave well
-the cursor sometimes seems to get stuck on certain bits of the
screen.
Some specific things I have problems with:
1. I think the virus database is not the latest one, assuming the
numbers relate to date. Perhaps this is because I only have a trial,
if not I wonder how to make it update or set up to automatically
update?
2. When I did a scan a dll file came up as an error. I wasn't able
to read what the type of error was as it was a case of "dot dot dot"
being displayed and I don't know if/how to scroll it. With the
actions, it seemed my only options were to ignore it or delete it. I
figure I shouldn't go around deleting DLLs without knowing what
they're for so I ignored it. This worries me slightly. Any thoughts?
I'd really like to use Eset as it comes up repeatedly as reliable and
accessible but am feeling quite frustrated att the moment. As for
AVG, last time I tried that about a year ago I found it inaccessible
with unlabeled buttons and annoying with installing toolbars I didn't
want into Internet Explorer. But others have said they find it
accessible so am beginning to wonder about trying it again...any help
on Eset gratefully received...
