Hello Dennis,
Did you happen to have the luck of finding the 8.5 version of AVG for free
somewhere? If so, could you please tell me the web address I need to go to
to also get this free version of 8.5? Any help on this would be greatly
appreciated. Much thanks in advance.
All the best,
Hank

Hello Dave,
Well, I might be wrong about Norton then, I have not used it since I
guess the end of 2005, when I got P Off with the higher cost of the annual
subscription fee, I think it went up to $29!!.
It is Alice that said AVG keeps running all the time, I do not have
8.5 installed yet, but surely receive the notice that I must by April 12!
O K then, if Norton is a bummer, Any other reputable antivirus program
you can think of that might be JAWS friendly, or at least somewhat
accessible?

Oh, gosh, no! Don't fall into the Norton trap. It is not even liked
by sighted computer experts due to how it pervades so much of your operating
system and overloads the CPU processing.
I tossed Norton over 4 years ago and have never regretted it. It
(version 2005) was very inaccessible to JAWS so I could not set it up for my
needs and could only helplessly have it run in default.
I'm using AVG Free version 8 and have had no notifications at all.
You report that it is constantly scanning. I only scan when I
request, so that's something you can change in the settings.

Hello Friends,
Well, for a few weeks now, every day when I first turn my computer
on, I receive a message from AVG stating that I must switch to version 8.5
by April 12, as my current version will no longer receive the latest
definitions by that date.
I am not sure what to do.
It does not mention any charge!
If I have to pay $35, I might as well add 14 and make it $49 and
go with off the shelf Norton.
I used it for 10 years with JAWS, granted I had to route JAWS to
PC to read most of the dialog boxes, but that was so rare, Norton took care
of itself, and my computer also, it caught a few viruses, and in 10 years, I
never had an issue with infections or such.
I think I did have some one help me with the original Install, but
after that, renewing the annual charge for renewal of the definitions
downloads was not a problem with JAWS.
With Best Regards,

Hello Alice,
Where did you get 8.5 free? When I clicked on the update it
said you had to pay $35.

Has anyone downloaded the new AVG free 8.5?
I did, and now, it seems that AVG is running scans for
hours every day. I guess this should make me feel all safe and protected
from viruses and other goodies, but while this is going on, JAWS stutters
and hitches up and locks up, and it's really hard to get anything done.
Anyone else noticing this? Are there any settings I can
change to encourage JAWS to keep performing even when these scans are
running in the background?
Thanks,
Alice
