I believe AVG to be very untrustworthy under the best of circumstances, so this becomes doubly important.

I completely agree!
It is not wise to keep your antivirus program out of date, with all the viruses around, you're liable to be caught if you're definitions aren't up to date. Besides, AVG 7.5 is completely screen-reader friendly, so you're actually doing yourself a disservice by not upgrading.

It is not wise to refrain from updating your antivirus program, and perhaps 
even less wise when it is free.

Do you volunteer? There are a lot of excellent not-for-profit organizations 
that can use a few hours of your time.

Subject: Inaccessible AVG update message

Hello listers,
Once a week, I am getting a message after I boot up that JAWS can't read. 
The only thing JAWS is able to read is the window header, which says
something about a deadline approaching. A sighted person was able to read the message contents, and told me it was about support for AVG ending on a particular date, and that I needed to upgrade to AVG 7.5. I think the date was supposed to be January 15. That date has come and gone, yet I am still 
getting weekly virus definition updates, and that message about my older
version of AVG expiring is still popping up once each week.

If I download the free version of AVG 7.5 and install it, will it use my
earlier configuration settings for AVG?

Alan
