Austin,
I can't tell you whether this is the best choice for your purposes, but I'm
using AVG on my Win 8.1 64-bit system, and must say it's pretty good for
accessibility. It also tackles various types of malware apart from viruses.
I have one reservation, and that is that AVG pops up status messages that NVDA
can't read, and even though I have a bit of sight, I can't read them by sight
either because of the microscopic font. However, your sighted client would
presumably have no trouble reading them.
While AVG used to be pretty slow, that is no longer the case, I find.
I don't want to rely entirely on one program to get rid of malware, so run
Malwarebytes and Superantispyware from time to time as well. All of these have
picked up different malware. To ensure some level of accessibility, I've stuck
with an old version of Malwarebytes, 1.75, which still, however, gets updates
of malware definitions.
Vince.
