I also notice that it will read listviews better with it on. I always keep
it on.

I believe the default setting is off. You generally do not need it on. For
programs that support it, however, it can be useful to be on. For Directory
Toolkit being discussed here it will cause entire names of files, sizes,
etc. to be read even if they are abbreviated on screen. It also will cause
the field name to be read.

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.
