Hi Mo.
I just tried to download the GData total protection suite to give it a spin,
I couldn't get passed the first installation screen which asks you to select
a language. I suggest you get back on to them and check whether the work
they've done through improving accessibility is actually streamlined across
the product from installation and configuration to dealing with security
threats and other maintenance operations. Also, with over half a dozen
different free solutions out there, unless you're looking for something more
comprehensive than antivirus and antispyware protection, because Windows has
a fairly good firewall, Internet Security software is going to be a tough
sell for you. I'd never even heard of GData until you mentioned them today,
and their total protection download comes in at a Wapping 399 megabytes so I
dread to think what the installation and resource consumption will be like.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Feedback Required: which paid security sweet/AV product
do people use?
Hello Everyone.
I'm conducting a little survey of my own and would like some help. Every
year, i check out different anti virus and internet security products
based on online reviews, to see which are the most accessible so i can
recommend them to clients. I don't want feedback on free offerings, as
we all know about security essentials, Avast, AVG, Avira and Esset. I
have been in touch with the major anti virus companies: F Secure, GData,
Panda, Bit Defender, Avast, Kaspersky, Bullguard, AVG, the others were
not easy to contact. Symantec i skipped completely, on account of the
fact that they are the most complained about company by my customers, as
well as the fact that every time i have used their products, they have
let me down in 1 way or another. My PC was also hacked and they
literally gave me a year of hell, so i will never use them again.
My question is this: Which anti virus product or internet security suite
do people use? and which company do you find have been responsive to the
needs of the blind? the only 2 companies that got back to me from the
list above were Bullguard and GData. Bullguard did promis to liaise with
me, but did not get back to me after their initial email. however, i am
very pleased with GData. not only did they reply, but they took in to
account all my feedback and immediately pushed out updates to all their
products to make them fully accessible to the blind. they have just
released GData 2014, and i have to admire them, they've really made an
effort to maintain accessibility. Have people had any experience with
Essett? i had heard that at 1 time they were taking visually impaired
users in to account by offering a less graphical product, is that still
the case and are they still decent at getting rid of viruses? They were
1 of the companies i did not have chance to contact at the time, as i
got side tracked with other projects. Any feedback greatly appreciated.
I do not want to start a discussion on which is the best anti
virus/security product, as that is a matter of opinion and what you've
paid for.
all the best,
Mo.
