Hi Kevin, thanks for that recommendation. I'll have a look to see if AVG do the firewall separetely. It's early days on the nod32 anti-virus software but, I'm noticing how much more smoothly my PC is running. Zoomtext seems to load faster than it did when i was using mcafee. That i find interesting. all the best, Justin ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin and emma To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 3:20 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Firewall recommendations i'm just coming to the end of the 30 day trial of AVG's antivirus and firewall package. and i'll be coughing up the 30 quid when it runs out. i've found it very accessible and dead easy to use. and i've not had a pc problem caused by it in that month.

It wasn't entirely accessible and zoomtext would play up a bit when the security centre kept downloading various updates. Anyway, I've now got nod32 trial version. Will likely purchase this. I just wanted some recommendation of firewalls I could use. I know most here are jaws and Win-eyes users. However, any firewall that's fully accessible to screen readers will likely have a more basic, less graphic style user interface. This will be much more accessible to me and zt's screen reader will likely respond better to such an application. So, can anyone recommend a fully accessible firewall? I don't mind trying out as many as possible (one at a time of course) until I find the right one for me. Any firewall suggestions would be great!
