Can you tell me some of the advantages please? I had to rid myself of AVGAS paid version due to its firewall blocking my ability to play music in VIP and am using it but am wondering if it was a good choice. higinal Message ----- From: "David" <davidwhitehead1957@xxxxxxxxx>

If you're looking for an unobtrusive anti virus program that runs in the
background and is totally JAWS accessible, try Microsoft Security
Essentials.
You can download it from the following site by choosing one of the three
links corresponding to your OS (XP 32 bit, Vista/7 32 bit or Vista/7 64 bit) 
under the heading "First Look: Microsoft Security Essentials Impresses":

Hi List, I recently bought a new computer in August and ran Microsoft Live
One Care for an anti virus program and firewall on it.. I had a subscription to it and had it for over 2 years. Microsoft notified me that I would get it free for 6 months and at that time they would go to Security Essentials as I 
have Vista Home Premium for an OS.. They informed me I would have to take
off One Care before I could download and install Security Essentials for it 
to work properly which I can understand that but their tech support e-mail
is complicated and I am legally blind and explained that to the support
person on the phone which she then told me they did not do phone support for Security Essentials.. Then she sent me an e-mail with a lot of step by step instructions written for a mouse user in it. I will have to find someone to 
come and assist me in doing this when they can find time, someone who is
more sighted than I am but most of my friends are busy and can only come on 
the weekends.. I am wondering, however, if I even want to install this
program. I used to use Norton but had some problems with it a few years ago 
and that is why I went to Live One Care and did not have any problems with
it. I know Norton and how the program works and also know there is AV g a
free virus program but know nothing about it or how to use it or how to
check on what it does. With Norton I know how to go in and check to see what reports it gives as I could do with One Care also and get reports on what it is doing and the status of my anti virus protection and so on.. Does anyone 
have any advice on what program to go to if I choose not to use Security
Essentials on Vista HOme Premium. I have not updated to Windows 7 as of yet as I am still running Jaws 10 and at this time have not planned on nor do I 
want to spend the money to upgrade to Jaws 11 just so Jaws will run with
Windows 7 as I have spent quite a lot lately on a new computer anyway..
Should I buy Norton or McAfee or do I have torun Security Essentials since I 
know nothing about it, it is new and I am  not sure I even want to run it
for a virus program on my computer.. My cousin's husband is running Norton
on his computer and it is just like mine, he has Vista and think he has
already upgraded to Windows 7 though, Please advise.. Thanks, Pat Dallas
