When you install the JAWS, what is the default settings of MSAA? Like me,
not that advance user, is it required to have that on?

JAWS MSAA Option
1. From the desktop - Insert + F2 to open JAWS
2. Select Configuration Manager
3. Ctrl + Shift + D - Select default configuration manager.
4. Select Advanced
5. Tab to MSAA for lists and check it.
Some JAWS users have experienced some difficulty when the MSAA option is on.
I don't recall exactly what. This has never been the case for me and
several applications work much better with it on.
AS to the Directory Toolkit I don't think it does a lot until you fork over
the $20 or $25 whatever it is for the registration key.

For encryption I use a pretty simple tool called Directory Toolkit from
Funduc Software www.funduc.com. It has a simple to use feature to encrypt
files. This is fairly simple encryption which could be fairly easily broken
by a Data Encryption professional with today's fast computers, but should be
sufficient to keep the general user out of your files should they somehow
gain a copy. There are much more sophisticated encryption programs out
their like PGP - Pretty Good Privacy -- that use large and CPU intensive
keys and would be very hard to break, but I have not worked with any of
these for quite a few years and do not know what they have for interfaces
that might work with JAWS. Directory Toolkit is very JAWS friendly
(especially if you have MSAA enabled in your JAWS settings) and I find it
much preferable to using Windows explorer.

Well I think I have norton internet security with its default settings set
up. As I may have mentioned in a previous email I only contracted that one
virus over the course of a year. I wish I new and understood how to better
configure the norton internet security or if I do have the default settings
in place. I was interested in what you said about encrypting sensative data
on your system. I don't know anything about that could you teach me about
that?

I do feel it has prevented some level of intrusions. On quite a number of
occasions when I am not working on my computer, but am nearby I will hear
JAWS read a Norton dialog about stopping an external access attempt. My ISP
provides pretty good EMail virus protection so none of them have gotten
through to where Norton needed to stop them. I have run into few virus
situations and seem to stay very clean I guess because of the sites I mostly
access. I too keep confidential data on my PC and prefer to encrypt
anything really important.

Well, do you feel it has kept your computer from being attacked. What has
been your experience with viruses? I recently got the winfixer 2005 virus
and was able to remove it with Norton antivirus. Although, I am concerned
about contracting other viruses and other potential threats, especially
since my wife is trying to hook her computer up with a wireless router. I
also have sensitive data on my desktop which I would like to protect.

I have not done much with trying to configure the firewall. I originally
had Norton 2005 Internet Security on this computer when I got it and just
went ahead and upgraded to 2006 when the 90 days ran out. This completely
re-installed all components including anti-virus, spyware protection, &
firewall. Once installed I got occasional combo boxes that would come up
and ask if I wanted to permit or block Internet access to various programs.
Norton would always make a suggestion which I sometimes followed and
sometimes did not depending on the program. Many times I would select
"block once" to se if anything bad happened if I did not permit access to a
particular program such as Windows Media Player.. I do know that the 2005
version could be difficult if not impossible to configure with JAWS.
Certain functions could nott be accessed even with the JAWS cursor.
Not sure this has been too helpful, but these have been my experiences.

I have Norton 2005 anti virus and norton internet protection. I am told the
internet protection is a fire wall, but it is not configured and I may need
some help doing that. The antivirus is just a scaning program I guess.

I am reasonably happy with Norton Internet Security 2006 which includes
anti-virus & firewall. It is not completely JAWS friendly and requires some
significant use of the JAWS cursor, but will mostly auto-configure and will
use normal dialog boxes for later specific program configuration. Overall,
I am happy with it.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good fire wall program that worked
well with JFW. Also I may be in need of some help if I was to aquire such a
program so looking for assistance with that too since I don't have much
knowledge in that area! I am thinking a fire wall would help protect a home
network against viruses etc.
