Hi, I'm not Roger, but I can tell you that I have Avast installed on
this
machine, and, once configured to work optimally with JAWS or whatever
screen reader you use, the programme is completely accessible. Hope that
helps.

Hello Roger,
How accessible is Avast. AVG was installed on my system, and I can't
access it. When I try, an error message, the innerface has stopped
working, and must close.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Hi Brian,
I am using Avast 4.8 (Free) on one Xp machine and the 4.8 Paid
version on my other Xp machine. Both versions are completely Jaws
accessible. I only need the Jaws Cursor if I want to monitor an
executing
scan. The statistics can be read with the PC Cursor after the scan is
done. You need only make two minor adjustments to the program for the
improved accessibility. No scripts are necessary. Avast also scans for
Spyware. The program does have a number of favorable ratings. I like
hearing the voice announcements of the data base updates. I hope this
information will help you decide your choice of antivirus software.
Roger

Subject: Super Antispyware
Hi friends,
I got a new used Windows 2000 computer and am about to install
an
antivirus and Antispyware program. I've been reading about the Super
Antispyware program on this list and was wondering if I need scripts to
use
it. I also would like to know which anti virus I should use that is Jaws
friendly, but is comparable to Norton. I like Norton because I have a
friend come and uninstall the old version each year and set it up to up
date and run automatically three times a week so I pretty much don't
have
to mess with it or learn how to run it. I know, I'm a bit lazy on that
program. Which program will allow me to operate it like I do the Norton
program. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Brian
