Hi Jane,
The company is Computer Associates. The program being spoken of is:
MyEtrust EZ antivirus Personal Edition, to give it its full definition.
$29.95 as new, excl. VAT. Version 7 of it is quite inaccessible to any
screen reader, thus my previous message as written below etc. The Web
site is a fairly complicated affair, an URL that isn't easy to remember,
and is also somewhat of a pain to navigate. ETrust EZ Armor also has a
firewall, plus a number of other suites aimed at different types of
user - personal, enterprise, professional, etc. The antivirus program
works well. But until they actually do bring out version 7
(accessible), or whatever version (accessible), and/or the situation
therewith is improved over what it is now, one cannot recommend it to a
blind screen reader user who doesn't already have the program.
