Malwarebytes used to disable chunks of kerzweil 1000 too if I remember
rightly. Twas a bloody pest.

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Is Avast anti-virus accessible?
Hi.
I didn't find it very accessible, avira anti virus or microsoft security
essentials are the 2 i usually recommend in conjunction with malware bytes
1.75. the problem with avast is that initially they did take accessibility
seriously. once they had feedback and recommendations from the VI community
and freedomscientific, they let accessibility slide, not to mention the fact
that their scanning engine has in the past disabled jaws on my system
because its apparently suspicious software. I hate anti virus engines that
are over aggressive and don't give you the option in an accessible dialogue
of allowing apps through. its an irony really, if they were taking
accessibility seriously and conducting testing with jaws internally, their
software should've known better than to disable jaws...
all the best,
Mo.

Dear listers,
I currently have AVG installed on my computer but am seriously
thinking of changing given their policy of selling their client info
to advertisers and that recent tests indicate it is less effective
than Microsoft Security Essentials (not a good recommendation.
Avast has been suggested as a free alternative and I would be grateful
to know if anyone uses it successfully - I'm not expecting it to be
fully accessible, just hoping that it's not fully inaccessible.
Best wishes
Robert
