Gerald,

I have MS-Essentials installed, and was wondering the same. I didn't see any 
options that I could adjust or verify that applied to E-Mail. Are there any 
configurations we can modify?

Dave

  MSE scans email attachments, where most viruses are likely to hide.

    One question I have about MSE is: does it scan incoming e-mail?  I 
understand that it doesn't.  If it does, that would be good news for me.

    Thank you.

      Avast is not as JAWS friendly as Microsoft Security Essentials.  And in a 
recent comparison test among 16 leading anti-virus programs, MSE outscored 
Avast at malware detection.

        First, I wanted to chime in and let those with Avast know that the same 
warning message came when I started my computer.  Don't know what's going on 
there but am hoping not to see that again.  Avast seems to be the most 
Jaws-friendly of the antivirus programs.

        On to my question:  I am learning how to tolerate Windows Live Mail, 
since I'll be using it until my XP machine returns.  I like reading mail in 
HTML because when you read it in plain text and go to next message it doesn't 
say who it's from.  But when I do read in HTML and hit delete so the next 
message can begin, it seems Jaws gets tired after reading about 3 or 4 messages 
and if I hit insert escape to refresh screen it works fine.  In other words, 
the email is open and I hit delete, but it gets silent on next message and 
screen-refreshing makes it talk again.  But after reading a few messages fine I 
find I'm screen-refreshing at the beginning of the rest of the messages.  I 
know F.S. really doesn't have a set list of recommendations yet for Windows 7, 
and I also notice that when I installed Jaws it did put me to a basic windows 7 
theme so it apparently knows which theme Jaws works best in.  But do you think 
screen resolution should be changed so I won't have to keep refreshing the 
screen while reading mail, or do you think a program like Auto Sizer might help 
whatever is causing Jaws to not respond to the screen after awhile?  If 
changing the screen resolution is the answer (right now it's 1024/768), 
wouldn't changing the screen resolution also change the workable theme that 
F.S. has recommended for Windows 7?  I know if theme gets changed Jaws reads 
horribly so not sure what to do.

        Thanks for any help.
