Hi,
Even according to Microsoft, they recommend you go to a third party. MSE
simply isn't strong enough. I personally have seen viruses that it didn't
catch, and Eset did. So it depends on what you want. Feeling good to know
you have antivirus installed, or one that really works. <Smile>.
Shame about the accessibility of Eset though, it has been going downhill.
All the best

Hi Mo.
As you well know, antivirus software needs to be used in conjunction with
good computing practices to be effective. I, like you, have tried various
different products including AVG, Mcafee, Eset, even Iolo's System Shield
and always find myself coming back to MSE. It's simple to use, straight
forward and if used with Internet Explorer's security features provides a
comfortable layer of antivirus security. However, that said, I do also use
Malware bytes Antimalware and AntiExploit to keep my system clear of
malware, Antimalware especially keeps my PC free of tracking cookies when I
scan my system. I guess it all depends on your needs, however unless you
specifically need a security feature found in a paid antivirus suite, I just
wouldn't spend your money. Just my two penny worth.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] accessible paid anti virus suites apart from Eset?
hi everyone.
i'm due to renew my Eset anti virus subscription, but I am wondering if
people use any other paid products that are accessible with screen
readers? as eset 9 isn't accessible yet and goodness only knows when
they'll bother to make it accessible. i am not keen on GData or Avast as
they're not as accessible as they were, and interfere with access
software by removing what they class as harmful files but which in
reality are files jaws requires to run. i've already tried MSE, avira
and AVG. AVG i just find to be a resource hog, avira is add supported
but still does a decent enough job, and MSE has the lowest detection
rates unfortunately. has anyone had any experience with any other suites?
all the best,
Mo.
