Hi Austin.How about Security Essentials? Firstly its free, its certainly accessible that one can use it with JAWS and so presumably NVDA, it works with Windows 8 and its detection and virus removal rates are amongst the best, in many cases better than the commercial offerings from the likes of Mcafee and Symantec. It is no frills though, absolutely basic antivirus and antispyware protection so you'll also want a malware removal tool such as malwarebytes as well.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: austin pinto
