Hi Jamie,
I move all our workstation from McAfee to Microsoft Security
Essentials (MSE) some time ago, and have been very happy.
In fact I was in Zimbabwe last week and did the same with 15-20
workstations there too, which replaced one of the free ones in use. I
have to say that alarm bells went off like crazy as soon as MSE was
installed. It picked up all sorts and cleaned them.
It is however essential that you re-scan after cleaning, just in case
something is hidden in the System Restore files which are protected.
If so, you need to clear System Restore, re-scan, and re-activate
System Restore. But that's a small price to pay for system security.
George.

Subject: [jaws-uk] New Dell laptop and anti virus/spam/spyware
Hi there,
A friend of mine has just purchased a new Dell XPS laptop with Windows
7, on
which is installed a copy of MacAfee anti virus.
I have generally been warned off this software as a Jaws user.
Has anyone got any comments on the combination of Microsoft Security
Essentials with Windows Defender and Windows Firewall from an
accessibility
point of view?
Second question - is MacAfee still not a good option for a Jaws user?
The guy has Jaws 12.
Thanks,
Jamie
