Hi,
There is still a version of ETrust that is accessible to screen readers
that will work with the updates. It is known as version 6.4.4. What
one can do, if they're using version 7 of it, is download this version
6.4.4 from the ftp link below; then uninstall version 7 from their
computer; then install 6.4.4. Unlike version 7, even the installation
dialogue speaks properly through JAWS. (the user interface is much as
the older one was.) And Here's the ftp link for the - accessible -
MyEtrust version 6.4.4
ftp://ftp.ca.com/pub/myeTrust/test/EZAntivirus6.4.exe
I'm using it myself, having uninstalled version 7.
They are indeed aware of the improbability of access by screen readers
to their version 7, as they admit it themselves now. I also have heard
(privately that 'the future build' of ETrust 'will be accessible to
screen readers'. (They didn't have a release date when writing that.)
I have an american friend who uses it and who is in regular email
contact with them - she's a campaigning sort.

I took a fairly quick admittedly, but first impressions were not
promising.
I downloaded and installed this nore than two weeks ago.

On the subject of EZ antivirus. Having bought the latest version, and
found its accessibility limitations, I notified their help line. They
said
they had passed my points on to management... but having changed my
e-mail
address since, and forgotten the pasword for the old one, I know not if
any
mods will be carried out.

Thanks for letting us know, it sounds like a fair option, I remember
using
it many years ago. I was dissapointed with EZ Trust on the
accessibility
front because I wanted to recommend that one to Jaws users as it
really
gives no trouble on my home PC. Fortunately I don't depend on Jaws so
taking a punt at one of these counts as useful research.

Tristram,
F-Prot is available on 30 day evaluation, I took this before
purchasing it
last year and found it to be extremely JFW friendly and effective at
stopping suspicious files in their tracks.
Regards,
Pete H

Firstly AVG 7 should not stop Jaws talking, I would suggest something
else
is at work here, perhaps you downloaded the firewall product as well,
some
firewalls will stop Jaws 5.1 or above from speaking, but AVG 7.0 on
it's
own
should not, it still should be a contender.
I can also verifiy that the latest EZ trust anti-virus isn't that
accessible. This is a shame it used to be and it's not a bad package
either.
The F-prot sounds like an interesting lead, if there is a demo
version it
may be worth trying that.
There are of course the more obvious Norton and MacAfee products,
they
have
their uses but also their limitations as regards smooth running of
systems
and generally being able to drive them.

hi pete
many thanks,
i forgot to say in my mail to the list that if joe boots up the
computer
then puts
jaws on every thing seems to work ok, well thats as far as we can
see.
it's
only if
jaws is set to come on automatically that the problems start and jaws
stops
talking.
if any one knows what could be the problem please let us know as we
are
near
to
destraction as we have been having this problem for many months now.

Subject: [jaws-uk] what anti virus checker?
hi
can any one help?
what anti virus checker is most suitable with jaws 5 and xp home, my
partner jow has
a new computer and apparently as soon as we put on a v g anti virus
checker version 7
jaws just stops talking after a while.
this was also happening with his old computer with jaws 5 and
windows
98,
as soon as
he changed from a v g 6 to a v g 7 this was when the problem first
started.
many thanks
Best Regards Susan.
