OK while we're talking about this, I tried windows defender about 4/5 months
ago and although it worked OK, one big thing that really annoied me about it
it was that it scanned my computer every day. I understand that some people
prefer this to be done, but I don't. I couldn't find any way of disabling
this. I couldn't exactly remember now the layout of the program, but I
remember that there was something like scanning options somewhere with in
it, but at the time at least there was no way of clicking it with jaws.
Using jaws cursor didn't do much as it's sort of HTML interface and din't
behave very well, but pressing enter, space bar, left click or any logical
action also didn't seem to take me in to any options to disable daily scan.

Windows Defender is very good, free and accessible. AVG Free 7.5 is a good
light touch anti-virus though I doubt it's effectiveness in all cases, if
you are a relatively light or unnadventurous net user this would be a good
choice. NOD32 and F-Prot are good contenders in the paid anti-virus market
and both accessible and would give better protection in cases where people's
net wanderings might lead them into contact with the less selubrious bits of
the net. F-Prot has a generaous license allowing you to install on up to
five PCs for a single user license and is competitively priced against
Norton. The one thing you definitely should not do is go for Norton 2007
which has become very innaccessible screen reader wise. NOD32 and F-Pro
have free 30 day trials so you have nothing to loose.
